Luis Diaz's form since his January move to Liverpool has eased the pressure on Mohamed Salah's contract situation at Anfield, according to Gary Neville.
The Colombian joined the Reds from Porto on January 30, signing a five-and-a-half-year deal for an for an initial £37 million - with the fee potentially rising to £49m.
Diaz has scored three goals and provided one assist in his eight Premier League appearances so far, and impressed in Tuesday night's 4-0 demolition of Manchester United.
While Salah is close to agreeing a new contract to extend his stay on Merseyside, his current deal expires in June 2023 and he told Sky Sportsearlier this month: "I can't be selfish and talk about my situation. We are in the most important period for the team."
He said: "The Carabao Cup final was the first time I had seen the lad live. He is playing off the left-hand side and I look at it from a right-back's perspective, so I think I've got a pretty good eye about what I would have liked and what I wouldn't have liked. And I thought: 'Oh my God. What a player he is.'
"His tenacity, his skill, his pace, his fight, his spirit - everything. They have found another one and, again, he has not cost a lot.
