Liverpool’s star player, Mohamed Salah, has signed a new contract that keeps him at the club until 2027. This ends the uncertainty about his future and confirms that the Egyptian forward will continue to be a key part of Liverpool’s plans under manager Arne Slot.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Liverpool announced on April 11 that Salah has agreed to extend his contract by two years, meaning he will stay with the club beyond his previous deal, which was due to end this summer. Salah has been in exceptional form this season, scoring 32 goals in 45 matches in all competitions, including a league-high 27 Premier League goals. His performances have been crucial in Liverpool’s quest for another league title. This comes as Salah was gathering a lot of interest from Saudi Arabian teams but the 32 year-old egyptian continues committed to leave his mark in England.
Salah expressed his happiness, saying, “I signed because I believe we can win a lot of big trophies together. Enjoying my life here, enjoying my football – I had the best years in my career.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Salah’s decision to stay is a huge boost for Liverpool, especially considering the interest he received from lucrative offers made by Saudi Pro League clubs. Salah chose loyalty to Liverpool, driven by his confidence in the team’s future success under Arne Slot. The new contract also shows Liverpool’s determination to keep their top players, as seen by their recent extensions given to other key performers like Virgil Van Dijk.
Led by Slot, Liverpool has been enjoying a strong season, putting them close to their 20th league title. Salah’s extension provides more stability to a squad aiming for domestic and European success in the upcoming years.
WHAT’S NEXT?
Salah’s focus now shifts toward leading Liverpool through the remaining fixtures of the season. The Reds will face West Ham at Anfield in their upcoming Premier League match as they continue their title race. Salah, who is now firmly established as a club legend, will also aim to climb higher on Liverpool’s all-time scoring chart. With 243 goals in his career, the Egyptian King currently stands behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt in the rankings.
Heading into the summer transfer window, Salah’s retention provides Liverpool with a strong foundation for enhancing their competitive edge in both domestic and European competitions.
