Salah Signs New Contract as Liverpool Look to Future
King of Anfield Commits Once More
Mohamed Salah isn’t done yet. Not even close. Amid swirling speculation and a flirtation with Saudi riches, the Egyptian King has signed a new two-year deal with Liverpool, putting pen to paper and silencing the noise — for now.
It ends months of uncertainty, rumour, and veiled frustrations that had left supporters wondering if they’d seen the last of him in red. Salah, now 32, had seemed on the brink. Not for the first time, he hinted he was heading for the exit. The club’s silence spoke volumes. But now, there’s clarity and, more importantly, continuity.
“Of course I’m very excited – we have a great team now,” Salah said 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. 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.”
His numbers underline that statement. 243 goals, 109 assists, and a trophy cabinet that’s glittered with the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Club World Cup. The Egyptian didn’t just become a legend — he redefined what it means to be one at Anfield.

In January, with Liverpool flying under new boss Arne Slot, Salah spoke again — this time to say both sides were “far away from any progress”. It felt like the end. The offer from Al-Ittihad had already landed — £150 million on the table in 2023 — and Saudi sports minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal had made his admiration clear: Salah would be “a big prize”.
But Slot wasn’t ready to let go. The new manager publicly backed the forward to make “the right decision”, and inside the club, there was growing belief that Salah’s heart still beat to the rhythm of Anfield.
Liverpool’s announcement — a throne, a king, and the words ‘more in than out’ — was pure theatre. But behind it lies a serious statement: Salah remains central to the project. His new deal keeps him at the club until 2027. It’s not just a contract; ...
