Egyptian international Mohamed Salah has officially committed his future to Liverpool by signing a new two-year contract with the club.
His previous contract was due to expire this summer, and there had been significant uncertainty about his future. During the season, Salah made remarks that sparked speculation about his intentions, and rumors swirled linking him with a potential move to the Saudi Pro League.
Despite the speculation, Salah has now chosen to remain at Anfield, where he will have the opportunity to further build on his impressive tally of 243 goals and 109 assists across 394 appearances for Liverpool.
“Of course, I’m very excited – we have a great team now,” Salah expressed, highlighting his enthusiasm for the club’s current project.
“Before we also had a great team. But I signed because I think we have a chance to win other trophies and enjoy my football.
“I have played eight years here, hopefully it’s going to be 10. I’m enjoying my life here, enjoying my football. I have had the best years of my career here.”
This season alone, Salah has netted 32 goals in all competitions, including 27 in the Premier League. His contributions have helped put Liverpool in a commanding position, as they currently lead second-placed Arsenal by 11 points with only seven games left to play in the title race.
Since his arrival from Roma in 2017, Salah has enjoyed a trophy-laden stint with the Reds, winning the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
Salah was one of three vital first-team players whose contracts were set to expire this summer, alongside right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dutch center-back Virgil van Dijk.
Van Dijk recently revealed that negotiations over a new contract have been progressing, while Alexander-Arnold continues to be heavily linked with a potential transfer to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Salah’s previous contract reportedly made him Liverpool’s highest-paid player, with a weekly wage exceeding £350,000.
It is understood that the new agreement does not involve a salary reduction, suggesting the club remains committed to rewarding Salah at the highest level as part of their long-term plans.
