Mohamed Salah has officially signed a new two-year contract with Liverpool, ending months of speculation and bringing relief to fans and management alike. The Egyptian forward, 32, has committed to stay at Anfield until 2027, cementing his status as one of the club’s all-time greats and ensuring that he remains a central figure in Arne Slot’s evolving team.
This long-anticipated deal marks the resolution of one of the most high-profile contract sagas in recent Premier League history. Mohamed Salah’s future had been the subject of intense debate, especially after Liverpool allowed him, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold to enter the final year of their contracts. But after months of negotiations led by new sporting director Richard Hughes, an agreement has been reached that will keep Liverpool’s top scorer in red for at least two more seasons.
Salah has been pivotal in Liverpool’s resurgent 2024-2025 campaign, currently leading the Premier League in both goals (27) and assists (17). With seven fixtures remaining and a first league title in five years on the horizon, this announcement brings timely stability to a team brimming with confidence.
Salah Proves He’s Still at the Top of His Game
At 32, Mohamed Salah has shown no signs of slowing down — in fact, he’s reached new heights this season. His record of 32 goals and 22 assists in 45 appearances across all competitions highlights an extraordinary level of performance that few players of any age can match. Despite being in what many consider the latter stages of a career, Salah’s consistency and intensity continue to defy expectations.
Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, have historically been cautious when it comes to offering high-value contracts to players over 30. However, Salah has proven to be an exception. His physical conditioning, professionalism, and sustained output convinced the club hierarchy that extending his stay was a strategic decision as much as it was sentimental.
The club’s belief in Mohamed Salah is shared by fans and players alike. Internally, there has long been confidence that both Salah and Van Dijk were committed to staying at Anfield. While Alexander-Arnold looks set to depart for Real Madrid on a free transfer, Salah’s decision to stay sends a powerful message about the club’s ambitions under new management.
Salah’s Record-Breaking Legacy Continues
Mohamed Salah’s contribution to Liverpool’s success since arriving from AS Roma in 2017 has been nothing short of monumental. With 184 Premier League goals — the most in Liverpool history — and 243 in all competitions, he stands as one of the greatest players the club has ever seen. His name sits joint-fifth on the all-time Premier League goal scorers list, and he may soon overtake Andrew Cole to take fourth.
MOHAMED SALAH’s incredible scoring record is matched by his durability and creativity. This season alone, he leads the league in assists, showing that his impact extends far beyond goals. His goals-per-90-minutes rate remains elite, matching — and even surpassing — his early years at the club. Such statistics prove that Salah isn’t just coasting on past achievements; he’s still evolving as a player.
As he prepares to add another Premier League title to his already glittering resume — which includes a Champions League, Club World Cup, FA Cup, and two League Cups — Salah’s renewed commitment places him in a position to go down not just as a Liverpool legend, but as the greatest to ever don the red shirt.
Defying Age: Salah’s Physical Prime May Be Now
In an era where speed and stamina often fade with age, Mohamed Salah is defying the conventional footballing timeline. According to data from analytics firm Skillcorner, Salah has hit a top speed of 31.1 km/h this season — faster than in any of his previous six seasons. That kind of acceleration is rare for players over 30, especially forwards, and it’s one of many indicators that Salah is still operating at peak performance levels.
Liverpool’s data-driven decision-making processes would have flagged any physical decline, but instead, the numbers support the case for a new contract. Salah’s dedication to fitness, diet, and recovery has allowed him to maintain — and even enhance — his explosive style of play.
This physical longevity is critical for a club like Liverpool, which relies heavily on high-tempo attacking football. Knowing that Salah remains one of the fastest and most dynamic forwards in the league justifies the club’s investment and assures fans that the Egyptian King still has many match-winning moments ahead.
Slot: Mohamed Salah’s Stay Signals Liverpool’s Ambition
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has hailed Salah’s contract extension as a statement of intent from the club. Speaking during his pre-match press conference, Slot credited sporting director Richard Hughes for successfully navigating a complex negotiation and emphasized the significance of retaining a player of Salah’s calibre.
“Maybe for the fans it’s a pleasant surprise but I’ve known for a bit longer that things were heading in the right direction,” said Slot. “As a free agent, Salah could’ve gone anywhere in the world — that he chose to stay shows how much belief he has in what we’re building here.”
Mohamed Salah also pointed out that Salah’s decision to extend could help attract top talent during the upcoming summer transfer window. “If I were a player thinking about joining Liverpool, seeing Salah stay would definitely make me more interested. It shows the club has ambition and is still aiming for the top,” he added.
The message is clear: Liverpool are not just celebrating past glories — they are planning for a bright future. And with Mohamed Salah leading the charge for two more years, that future looks as promising as ever.
