Mohamed Salah
By Sello Masilo
In a major boost for Liverpool Football Club, Mohamed Salah has officially signed a new contract that will keep him at Anfield until June 2027. The Egyptian forward, who joined the Reds in 2017, has extended his stay by two years, reinforcing his commitment to the club amidst speculation about his future. 
Salah’s new deal, reportedly worth £400,000 per week, makes him one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League. This extension comes after months of negotiations, during which Salah turned down lucrative offers from other clubs, including a reported £130 million per year offer from Saudi Arabia. His decision to stay underscores his dedication to Liverpool and his desire to continue achieving success with the team.   
Under the guidance of manager Arne Slot, Salah has been instrumental in Liverpool’s current campaign, leading the Premier League with 27 goals and contributing significantly to the team’s 11-point lead at the top of the table. His performance this season has not only solidified his status as a key player but also as a leader within the squad. 
Salah expressed his enthusiasm about the new contract, stating, “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, “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.” 
Manager Arne Slot praised Salah’s decision, highlighting the effort put into securing the extension. He noted that Salah’s commitment is a testament to the club’s ambition and the strong relationship between the player and Liverpool. Slot also emphasized the importance of retaining key players to maintain the team’s competitive edge.  
Salah’s contributions to Liverpool have been remarkable. Since his arrival, he has scored 243 goals in 394 appearances, making him the third-highest scorer in the club’s history. His achievements include winning the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Club World Cup, among other honors. He has also received individual accolades, such as the Premier League Golden Boot and PFA Players’ Player of the Year.   
The extension of Salah’s contract is expected to have a positive impact on the club’s future, both on and off the pitch. His presence is likely to attract new talent and inspire current players, contributing to the team’s ongoing success. Additionally, the club is reportedly working on securing new deals for other key players, including captain Virgil van Dijk, to ensure stability and continuity.
As Liverpool continues its pursuit of domestic and European titles, Salah’s commitment provides a significant boost to the team’s aspirations. Fans can look forward to more memorable moments from the “Egyptian King” as he continues to write his legacy at Anfield. 
With Salah’s future secured, Liverpool’s focus now shifts to maintaining their momentum and achieving their goals for the season. The club’s leadership, including sporting director Richard Hughes, will play a crucial role in navigating contract negotiations and squad development to sustain the team’s success.
