Liverpool fans think Mo Salah might just have dropped a hint about his future after leaked images emerged online ahead of the Merseyside derby with Everton.
Salah is enjoying arguably the best season of his career, with an incredible tally of 27 goals and 17 assists for the Premier League leaders.
The Egyptian looks set to fire Liverpool to a second Premier League title and has done so while speculation about his future has been unavoidable.
Along with Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Salah's contract is set to expire at the end of the season and has regularly faced questions about whether he is staying put.

In November, in a shock interview with the Liverpool press pack in the mixed zone, Salah said he hadn't "received any offers yet to stay in the club" and was "probably more out than in".
Linked with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and the Saudi Pro League, there hasn't been much movement on Salah's situation in recent times but pictures shared online have got Liverpool supporters excited.
Although it's not clear when the images were taken, pictures of Salah on the Liverpool docks in Liverpool gear have led many to believe that positive contract news may be on the way.
They pointed out that Salah's last contract extension had a theme where he was on a boat during a holiday.
One fan on Reddit said: "If you think I'm going to be so stupid as to believe this single photo means he's signed a new contract then you'd be correct."
A second commented: "If I remember correctly his previous contract renewal is when he was at holiday by the sea, here’s hoping that he’s following a similar theme."
A third asked: "But why would they shoot promo material of him if he's leaving in a few months?"
A fourth said: The last contract was announced with him on a boat on vacations if I remember correctly."
A fifth user wrote: "Please tell me it's an extension that's gonna rock the crowd tonight."
Shock bombshell announcement on Salah
It seems there may be reason for Liverpool fans to be excited on the Salah front if recent reports are anything to go by. According to Santi Aouna of Foot Mercato, Salah is close to signing a new contract at Anfield.
On Wednesday, the journalist reported that "a full agreement" is close - with Liverpool confident of tying down their talisman.
Salah signed from Roma for a fee of £36 million in 2017 and has scored 243 goals in 392 games for the Reds, winning every trophy available.
