April 11, (THEWILL) – Liverpool officially confirmed on Friday that Mohamed Salah has signed a new contract, ending speculation about the Egyptian forward’s future. The 32-year-old star player will remain with the English Premier League leaders for what appears to be a two-year extension, according to hints from Salah himself following the announcement.
Multiple clubs had shown interest in acquiring Salah’s services, with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly planning to sign him on a free transfer this summer. Saudi Pro League clubs were particularly eager, with reports indicating they were prepared to make him the second-highest paid footballer globally, but Liverpool ultimately convinced their top scorer to stay.
“Of course I am very excited,” Salah stated on Liverpool’s website. “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.”
The Egyptian forward, who has spent eight years at Anfield, expressed his commitment to the club and its supporters: “It is great, I had my best years here. I played eight years, hopefully it is going to be ten. Enjoying my life here, enjoying my football. I had the best years in my career.” He further added, “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 will give it our best, and hopefully in the future we are going to win more trophies.”
Liverpool supporters will welcome this development as the club continues its push for domestic and European glory under new management in 2025. Salah, who has consistently delivered goals since joining from Roma in 2017, remains central to the team’s attacking strategy and commercial appeal, with his popularity extending well beyond football.
