Liverpool ready to make improved offer for Roma star Mohamed Salah: Talks are ongoing
LIVERPOOL are determined to land Roma star Mohamed Salah.
Mohamed Salah's best goals for AS Roma
Salah, 24, has enjoyed a sensational season at Roma - scoring 15 goals and providing 13 assists in Serie A.
And his talents have not gone unnoticed with Liverpool apparently interested in securing his signature.
The Reds tried to sign the Egypt international in 2014 when he was at Swiss side Basel and Brendan Rodgers was in charge, but he opted for a move to Chelsea instead.
Reports in Italy claim the Reds have reignited their interest in Salah with Jurgen Klopp keen on signing a wide player.

It is suggested that Liverpool had a £28million bid knocked back by Roma after holding positive talks.
However, The Daily Mirror claim Liverpool are now ready to improve their offer in an attempt to get a deal over the line for Salah.
Talks are apparently ongoing with the Reds needing to stump up around £40m to land the winger.
Jurgen Klopp has been handed a £150m summer transfer kitty and he will be keen to use this to his advantage with a return to the Champions League group-stage being a real possibility.
