Liverpool FC announced on April 11, 2025, that star forward Mohamed Salah has signed a new two-year contract, securing his future at Anfield until 2027. The agreement ends months of uncertainty surrounding the 32-year-old Egyptian international, whose previous deal was set to expire this summer.
Salah, a cornerstone of Liverpool’s success since joining from AS Roma in 2017, has been in scintillating form this season, scoring 27 goals to lead the Premier League and adding 22 assists across all competitions. His contributions have helped propel Liverpool to an 11-point lead at the top of the league table, positioning them as favorites for a record-tying 20th English top-flight title.
“I signed here because I believe we can win a lot of big trophies together,” Salah said in a statement on Liverpool’s website. “Keep supporting us, and we’ll give it our best.” The forward, who has won three Premier League Golden Boots and is the club’s third-highest scorer with 243 goals in 394 appearances, expressed excitement about continuing his “love affair” with the club.
Head coach Arne Slot hailed the deal as a major coup, noting Salah’s global appeal. “I knew things were heading in the right direction,” Slot said at a press conference. “It’s a big compliment to [sporting director] Richard Hughes that he achieved this, as Mo could probably go to any club in the world.”

The announcement comes after tense negotiations, with Salah publicly airing frustrations last year, saying he was “probably more out than in” amid stalled talks. Speculation linked him to Saudi Pro League clubs, including Al-Hilal, but sources confirm Salah turned down lucrative Middle Eastern offers to stay at Anfield.
Financial details remain undisclosed, though reports suggest Salah’s new deal maintains his status as Liverpool’s highest earner, with a basic salary around £350,000 per week, potentially rising with incentives. The contract ensures stability for Liverpool, though attention now shifts to teammates Virgil van Dijk, who is nearing a new deal, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, widely tipped to join Real Madrid.
For Liverpool fans, the news sparked jubilation. Social media posts showed supporters celebrating outside Anfield, with one banner reading, “Mo’s staying home!” As Salah posed for photos on a throne-like chair at the stadium, the message was clear: the “Egyptian King” remains central to Liverpool’s ambitions for more silverware.
