The Reds, who were just denied the title last season, suffered in the early going this year as draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace were exacerbated by Monday's humiliating loss at rivals Manchester United, according to DPA.
The forward, who was named the FWA Footballer of the Year and the PFA Players' Player of the Year for 2021-22 after helping Juergen Klopp's side to a domestic cup double, has now committed his future to the Reds.
The 36-year-old's previous deal was due to expire at the end of this month and the midfielder had external offers from one Premier League club and two from overseas but he chose to remain with Liverpool.
But Klopp is waiting to find out the extent of injuries to top-scorer Salah and defensive talisman Van Dijk, who were both forced off at Wembley on Saturday.
Premier League players are now allowed to train in small, socially-distant sessions not lasting longer than 75 minutes.
Klopp’s men lead the way in the top-flight English competition with 82 points from 29 games while second-placed Manchester City remain 25 points behind them.
Messi has six Ballon d’Or trophies in his kitty while Cristiano Ronaldo comes a close second with five.
As per local media reports Liverpool would be crowned Premier League title if the season cannot be completed.
Jurgen Klopp had earlier expressed his desire to bring Kylian Mbappe to Liverpool and had said that he and the club management would love to have him.
