Mohamed Salah signs new 2 years Liverpool contract

Mohamed Salah has penned a new two years contract at Liverpool to put an end to the uncertainty surrounding his future at the Premier League giant.

Salah has been a long-term target for clubs in Saudi Arabia, but has now quashed speculation over his Liverpool future.

A statement read: “Liverpool FC can announce Mohamed Salah has signed a new contract that will keep him with the club beyond the 2024-25 season.

“The forward, who is enjoying another stellar campaign for the Reds, has committed his future by putting pen to paper on the deal.

“So far this term, Salah has scored 32 goals in just 45 appearances in all competitions, 27 of which have come in the Premier League, making him the division’s leading marksman. These strikes have been supplemented by 22 assists for his teammates.

“And today’s news means Salah will extend an eight-year stay at Anfield into the future and continue to help Arne Slot’s team challenge for the game’s biggest honours.”

“Of course I’m very excited,” Salah told the club. “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.

“It’s great, I had my best years here. I played eight years, hopefully it’s going to be 10. Enjoying my life here, enjoying my football. I had the best years in my career.

“I would like to say to [the fans], I am very, very happy to be here. I signed here because I believe we can win a lot of big trophies together. Keep supporting us and we’ll give it our best, and hopefully in the future we’re going to win more trophies.”

Liverpool added: “Salah has cemented himself as a Liverpool legend since his transfer from AS Roma in the summer of 2017.”

Salah reportedly signed a deal worth £400,000-a-week including bonuses. The Egyptian is now set to see out an entire decade of success at Anfield that has cemented him as one of the all-time Premier League greats.

The 32-year-old, previously of Chelsea, signed from Roma in 2017 and delivered an outstanding debut season. He scored 44 goals in 52 outings across all competitions and was named the club’s Players’ Player of the Season.

Salah has notched 243 goals and 111 assists in 394 appearances for the club. He is also the Reds record Premier League goalscorer on 184 goals, and set to win the title for a second time this season.
