Liverpool’s talismanic forward Mohamed Salah has ended months of speculation about his future by signing a new two-year contract with the club. The extension will see him remain at Anfield until the summer of 2027, bringing clarity and joy to Liverpool fans around the world.
The 32-year-old Egyptian international was due to become a free agent at the end of the current season, sparking rumours of a potential switch to Saudi Arabia, where he had reportedly attracted significant interest. However, Salah has opted to stay with the Premier League giants, reinforcing his commitment to the club where he has enjoyed the most successful period of his career.
“Of course I’m very excited – we have a great team now,” Salah told club media after the announcement.
“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.”
Salah joined Liverpool from AS Roma in 2017 and has since become a club legend. He has scored 243 goals and provided 109 assists in 393 appearances for the Reds. This season alone, he has netted 32 goals in all competitions, including 27 in the Premier League, as Liverpool continue their charge for a record-equaling 20th English top-flight title. They currently sit 11 points clear of second-placed Arsenal with seven matches left.
Reflecting on his journey, Salah added:
“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.”
During his time with Liverpool, Salah has helped the club to a glittering collection of silverware, including the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup. His blistering pace, clinical finishing, and consistency have been vital to Jurgen Klopp’s era of success.
Salah was one of three senior Liverpool stars facing contract expiry this summer. While Virgil van Dijk has confirmed that negotiations are progressing positively, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future remains uncertain amid growing links with Real Madrid.
The decision to retain Salah is a major statement of intent from Liverpool, signaling their ambition to remain competitive both domestically and in Europe. With Klopp stepping down at the end of the season, Salah’s leadership and experience will be pivotal as the club transitions into a new chapter.
For fans and players alike, the news is a morale booster, reinforcing the sense that Liverpool remain a force to be reckoned with, both on and off the pitch. And for Salah, the journey continues — with more goals, more trophies, and perhaps, a few more iconic moments at Anfield.
