Liverpool are continuing to battle headlines over the future of some of their star footballers despite being at the summit of the Premier League table.

Eight games into the Premier League season, Liverpool are flying high at the top of the table and are looking like credible title challengers this season.

A 2-1 win at home over an in-form Chelsea on Sunday further added to Arne Slot's reputation who has done a remarkable job since taking charge from Jurgen Klopp at the end of last season.

However, the speculation surrounding the future of some of their star players is taking the focus away from the team's performances on the pitch.

There is still no agreement over a new contract and there are suggestions that Salah has already agreed to move to Saudi Arabia at the end of the season.

Liverpool calm over the Mohamed Salah speculation The Reds are looking at potential replacements for Salah but believe the player's priority still is to stay at Anfield beyond the end of his current deal.

According to Football Insider, the club are not really concerned about the recent speculation suggesting that the attacker has already agreed to a move to Saudi Arabia.

Liverpool are certain that Salah would prefer to stay at Anfield and have continued to remain in dialogue with the player's representatives.

It has been claimed that the forward wants Liverpool to offer him a three-year contract on big wages to convince him to stay at Anfield.

The Merseyside giants are remaining calm about the situation and confident of agreeing on fresh terms with their star man in the coming months.

Salah also has suitors in Europe where Paris Saint-Germain are pushing hard to convince him to move to France on a free transfer next summer.
