In a move that has thrilled football fans worldwide, Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah has officially signed a new contract with Liverpool, extending his stay at Anfield until 2027. The announcement ends months of speculation about Salah’s future and solidifies his role as a cornerstone of the club’s ambitions under manager Arne Slot.
Salah, who joined Liverpool from AS Roma in 2017 for a then bargain fee of £43.9 million, has become one of the most iconic players in the club’s history. With nearly 400 appearances and seven major trophies to his name including the Premier League and Champions League the forward has cemented his status as a legend. The new deal ensures that Salah will continue to inspire Liverpool fans and teammates alike for years to come.
Speaking to Liverpool’s official channels, Salah expressed his excitement about the extension: “Of course I’m very excited. We have a great team now. Before also we had a great team. But I signed because I think we have a chance to win other trophies and enjoy my football.” He added that Liverpool has given him the best years of his career, and he looks forward to achieving even greater success with the club.
This season, Salah has been in scintillating form, scoring 32 goals across all competitions, including 27 in the Premier League. His contributions have been instrumental in Liverpool’s pursuit of their 20th league title, as they sit atop the table heading into the final stretch of the campaign. With 22 assists this term, Salah also ranks among the top creators in English football, further underscoring his value to the team.
The decision to extend Salah’s contract was not only a sporting necessity but also a statement of intent by Liverpool. Despite lucrative offers from Saudi Pro League clubs including a rejected £150 million bid from Al-Ittihad Salah chose loyalty over financial gain. His commitment reflects his belief in Liverpool’s potential to dominate both domestic and European football in the coming years.
Salah’s new contract reportedly includes incentives tied to individual and team achievements, ensuring that he remains motivated to deliver peak performances. At £350,000 per week the highest salary in Liverpool’s history Salah’s financial package underscores his importance to the club while aligning with his status as one of world football’s elite players.
With this extension, Salah is poised to spend a decade at Anfield, potentially overtaking Roger Hunt as Liverpool’s second all time top scorer. Already third on the list behind Ian Rush and Hunt, Salah’s consistency and drive make him a strong contender for more records. He also ranks sixth in assists for the club and could climb further in that category.
The timing of this announcement is particularly significant as Liverpool prepares for a summer of transitions. The futures of other key players like Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold remain uncertain, but securing Salah provides much-needed stability for Slot’s squad. His leadership on and off the pitch could even see him take on an elevated role within the team hierarchy.
For Liverpool fans, Salah’s decision is more than just a contract renewal it is a reaffirmation of hope and ambition. As Salah himself said: “Keep supporting us and we’ll give it our best. Hopefully in the future we’re going to win more trophies.” With their talisman committed to the cause, Liverpool can dream big once again.
