MO SALAH has finally put pen to paper on a new Liverpool deal, putting an end to ongoing questions about what his future holds.

 

The legendary attacker, aged 32, has agreed to terms that secure his place at the club *“beyond”* this campaign – with reports from Egypt suggesting he will earn up to £400,000 every week.

And skipper Virgil van Dijk looks set to follow after reaching terms on his own deal,

 

Liverpool shared the news of Salah’s agreement without disclosing specific duration, stating: *“Liverpool FC can announce Mohamed Salah has signed a new contract that will keep him with the club beyond the 2024-25 season.*

 

*“Today’s news means Salah will extend an eight-year stay at Anfield into the future and continue to help Arne Slot’s team challenge for the game’s biggest honours.”*

 

However, *The Athletic* reports that Salah’s new terms will extend for two more years until 2027, meaning he’ll collect a total of £41.6million in fresh salary.

This brings to a close a lengthy storyline that could’ve seen Salah walk away as a free agent at the end of this season.

 

The domestic and European champion, who’s on the verge of adding another title to his collection, unveiled his contract extension *in brilliant fashion.*

 

Salah uploaded a series of images on social media of himself posing at Anfield – but didn’t include any caption.

 

He later shared his reasoning for turning down lucrative Saudi offers and choosing to remain a Liverpool player, with reports from his native country suggesting he had been offered £130m a year to leave the club.

The seasoned star turned down the offers due to his personal legacy, desire to set more records, and lifelong ambition of securing the Ballon d’Or.

 

He will also be receiving £400,000 each week according to Egyptian sources – an increase from his previous £350,000-a-week salary.

Salah has scored 184 Premier League goals for the Reds, placing him joint-fifth with Man City icon Sergio Aguero, and just 39 goals behind second-place Harry Kane.

 

Having joined from Roma in 2017, Salah commented: *“Of course I’m very excited. 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.*

 

*“It’s great, I had my best years here. I played eight years, hopefully it’s going to be 10. Enjoying my life here, enjoying my football. I had the best years in my career.*

 

*“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.”*

Since arriving at Liverpool eight years ago for £36.5million, Salah has gone on to find the net 243 times in 394 matches.

 

He currently leads the league’s goal tally with 27 – six more than Man City’s Erling Haaland.

 

Salah’s goals have propelled Liverpool 11 points ahead in the standings with only seven matches left to play.

 

Arne Slot will be thrilled to have secured the services of his top player, and attention will now shift to Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

 

Van Dijk is also expected to agree to a new two-year agreement to remain at Anfield and avoid free agency.
