Salah has been offered a new contract by Liverpool believed to be worth around £400,000 amid his current deal expiring in 2023.

Barcelona are keen on signing the winger with Paris Saint-Germain also linked.

But Sobhi believes Salah will now extend his Anfield stay, telling Egyptian radio: “I met with Salah after the end of the Senegal match and said to him to forget what happened and focus on what’s next.

“I have advised him to continue his journey at a club other than Liverpool, but his direction now is to renew his contract with Liverpool.

“There are campaigns against Salah directed by some to bring him down, but I asked him not to pay attention to them.”

Salah was believed to be keen on a switch to Barcelona after turning down the offer of a new deal from the Reds.

But he has now reportedly had a change of heart with Liverpool willing to offer him an additional year, tying him down on a lucrative deal until 2027.

Jurgen Klopp also revealed talks are back on between the club and Salah’s representatives.
