Mohamed Salah has finally put an end to the ongoing speculation surrounding his future by committing to a new two-year contract with Liverpool FC. At 32 years old, Salah has been a vital component of the Liverpool squad, joining fellow key players Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who were also facing the prospect of becoming free agents come summer. With this new agreement, the talented Egyptian forward will remain at Anfield until 2027, allowing fans and the club alike to breathe a sigh of relief.
Expressing his excitement about the extension, Salah stated, “Of course, I’m very excited.” He reaffirmed his belief in the squad’s capabilities, emphasizing that they not only possess an exceptional team but also have a genuine opportunity to secure more trophies in the future. “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 elaborated. Salah’s sentiment reflects his strong commitment not only to personal achievement but also to achieving collective success with Liverpool.
Salah’s time at Liverpool has been nothing short of spectacular. “It’s great; I had my best years here,” he shared, indicating that his experiences on the pitch have shaped him into the player he is today. With eight years with the club under his belt, he hopes to continue extending that legacy to ten years. His enthusiasm for living and playing in Liverpool resonates, as he reflects on the best moments of his career thus far. “Enjoying my life here, enjoying my football. I had the best years in my career,” he added, showcasing his appreciation for the club and the city.
In a heartfelt message directed to the passionate Liverpool fans, Salah said, “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.” This public acknowledgment of the fans’ support may help galvanize the Liverpool faithful in the pursuit of more silverware.
Salah joined Liverpool from AS Roma in 2017 for a transfer fee of £34 million, and since then, he has been a prolific scorer in the Premier League. He made an explosive impact, netting 32 goals in his debut season at Anfield, and has consistently scored no less than 18 goals in each subsequent season. Currently, he leads the league’s scoring chart, boasting an impressive tally of 27 goals, six ahead of Manchester City’s Erling Haaland. His contributions are not limited to the league alone; he has also found the net five times in both the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup, bringing his total across all competitions to a staggering 32 goals in 45 matches this season.
As Liverpool prepares for the final stretch of the current Premier League campaign, Salah is well-positioned to secure a second Premier League winners’ medal with the club. Currently, Liverpool sits 11 points clear at the top of the table, with just seven games remaining. Their journey continues as they face West Ham in a crucial league encounter, before navigating a challenging title run-in that includes matches against formidable opposition such as Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, as well as an away game against Chelsea. The squad will then head to Sussex to take on Brighton and Hove Albion before finishing the season back at Anfield against Crystal Palace.
