Mohamed Salah Hamed Mahrous Ghaly is an Egyptian professional footballer who plays as a forward or on the right wing for Premier League club Liverpool and captains the Egypt national team.
He just signed another three year contract with Liverpool FC to expire June 2025. His previous contract was due to expire at the end of next season; FWA Footballer of the Year and the PFA Players’ Player of the Year for 2021/22,
Salah has scored 156 goals in 254 appearances so far in his Anfield career. Salah was prepared to join Chelsea before signing this new contract with Liverpool.
His current market value is at 90 million euros.
Salah’s new deal was said to be “a long-term contract” in Liverpool’s official announcement, but we understand it is a three-year deal, which will see him become the best-paid player at the club by some distance. The exact figures are unknown, and unlikely to be disclosed by either side at this stage, but it is understood that Salah’s salary now places among the Premier League’s highest earners. It brings to an end a lengthy and at-times fraught negotiation, with Salah’s agent.
What did Mohamed Salah say about his new Liverpool contract?
Speaking to the Liverpool official website, Salah said: “I feel great and [I am] excited to win trophies with the club. It’s a happy day for everyone. “It takes a little bit of time, I think, to renew, but now everything is done so we just need to focus on what’s next. “I think you can see in the last five or six years the team was always going [upwards]. Last season we were close to winning four, but unfortunately in the last week of the season we lost two trophies. “I think we are in a good position to fight for everything. We have new signings as well. We just need to keep working hard, have a good vision, be positive and go for everything again.”
He added: “My message [to the fans] is the players in the team want to give our best next season to try to win all the trophies. “As usual, you stay behind us and give us a big push and I am sure we are going to win trophies again [together].”
It’s the news every Liverpool fan has been waiting for, and the kind that can lift an entire club. The Reds’ best player is staying, and the fun, games and speculation over his future can stop. Salah had made it clear, prior to the Champions League final, he would be sticking around at Anfield for at least another year but as July arrived there were serious doubts as to whether he would be there any longer. When a player reaches the final 12 months of their contract, the likelihood is that they will not be renewing, especially given the apparently frosty relationship between the club and the player’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa.
