Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah has officially extended his contract with Liverpool for an additional two years.
His previous agreement was set to expire this summer, leading to uncertainty about his future with the club, especially following remarks made by the 32-year-old during the season and rumors suggesting a potential transfer to Saudi Arabia.
Now, Salah will have the opportunity to further enhance his impressive record of 243 goals and 109 assists in 393 appearances for Liverpool.
“I’m truly excited – we have a fantastic team at the moment,” Salah expressed.
“In the past, we also had a strong squad. However, I decided to sign because I believe we have a genuine chance to win more trophies and enjoy my football.
“I have spent eight years here, and I hope to reach ten. I am relishing my life and football here. These have been the best years of my career.”
This season, Salah has netted 32 goals across all competitions, including 27 in the Premier League, as Liverpool aims for their 20th top-flight title. The team currently holds an 11-point lead over second-placed Arsenal with seven matches left to play.
Salah, who made the move to Liverpool from Roma in 2017, has secured several prestigious titles with the club, including the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup.
He is one of three pivotal Liverpool players whose contracts are set to expire this summer, alongside right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and center-back Virgil van Dijk.
Dutch defender Van Dijk has indicated that discussions regarding a new contract are progressing, while Alexander-Arnold has been frequently linked to a transfer to Real Madrid.
