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.
"If the young boys are part of these best players then they will be on the pitch."
Even though Liverpool still have a lead of 20 points at the top, their hope to break City’s record of 100 points in a single season took a major blow.
Liverpool sealed their first ever Premier League title and their first top flight title in England in 30 years when Manchester City lost 2-1 to Chelsea last week.
Klopp wrote an open letter in the Liverpool Echo to fans on Monday and thanked them for their support.
After City Lost to Chelsea 1-2 away from home and Jurgen Klopp's Reds won 4-0 against Crystal Palace 4-0, the results implied that City could not mathematically go past Liverpool.
