Mohamed Salah's demand for Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers' message to Reds' fans

Liverpool fans continue to sweat over the future of Mohamed Salah, whose contract expires at the end of next season – and his latest demand has come to light.

And it seems Salah's hesitation to sign a new deal at Anfield may not be all down to the financial offer on the table.

It comes after the Reds' win on penalties against Leicester City on Wednesday night booked their place in the Carabao Cup semi-final.

After the game Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers sent a message to fans inside Anfield for the thrilling match.

And with the semi-final draw now made, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has found himself agreeing with his Tottenham Hotspur counterpart Antonio Conte.

And it appears Rodgers knows it was the buoyant home support which helped get Liverpool over the line yet again.

Salah's contract demand

Mohamed Salah has reportedly laid down a new demand as the club desperately try to get him to agree to a new contract at Anfield.

Salah has been in exceptional form so far this season, with 15 goals and nine assists in the Premier League so far.
