The Reds have put an opening proposal on the table for Salah after the forward earlier expressed his disappointment with the club's failure to offer him a new contract.
The 32-year-old said: “Well, we are almost in December and I haven’t received any offers yet to stay in the club.
“I’m probably more out than in. You know I have been in the club for many years. There is no club like this but in the end it is not in my hands.
"As I said before, it is December and I haven’t received anything yet about my future.” He added: "I love the fans. The fans love me. In the end it is not in my hands or the fans’ hands. Let’s wait and see.

“I’m not going to retire soon so I’m just playing, focusing on the season and I’m trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well. I’m disappointed but we will see.”
Since his outburst last month, Liverpool have held positive talks with Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas Issa.
Arne Slot's side are desperate to keep hold of one of the best forwards in the world and according to reports, the Egypt international is now very close to continuing his career as a Liverpool player, and the announcement could be done before the end of the year.
Several clubs are interested in signing Salah on a free transfer next summer, however, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Salah turned down offers from eight clubs to prioritise his continuity at Anfield.
These clubs include Saudi Pro League sides Al-Nassr, Al Hilal, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Ahli, European giants Barcelona and Juventus, Egyptian club Zamalek and Lionel Messi's Inter Miami.
