Mohamed Salah's representatives have reportedly requested that Liverpool hand the forward a £500,000-per-week contract.
The Egypt international is currently in the form of his life, scoring in 10 successive matches and contributing a total of 15 strikes during the early part of the season.
Salah hit a hat-trick as Liverpool thrashed Manchester United on Sunday, with manager Jurgen Klopp reiterating after the game that the club's star man wanted to remain at Anfield.
However, according to Football Insider, the 29-year-old's representatives are demanding that he is given a contract worth £26m per year.
That is a significant increase on the alleged £400,000 per week that they were said to be requesting earlier this month.
Salah's current contract is due to expire in 2023, creating a scenario where other high-profile clubs will be monitoring the situation ahead of the summer transfer window.
