Liverpool and Mohamed Salah have reportedly agreed in principle to a new two-year contract that will keep the 32-year-old at Anfield until 2027.
With Salah’s current contract set to expire at the end of the season, concerns had been raised among fans about his potential departure. However, the Egyptian forward’s exceptional form this season has made securing his renewal a priority for the club.
Salah has been a key figure in Liverpool’s success under manager Arne Slot, contributing an impressive 20 goals and 17 assists in just 20 matches during the first half of the 2024/25 season.
His remarkable performance has also made him a strong contender for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
Journalist David Ornstein has confirmed that positive progress has been made regarding Salah’s future, with both Salah and Virgil van Dijk expected to remain at the club beyond this season.
According to Football Insider, the delay in finalizing Salah’s contract is reportedly due to ongoing discussions about his image rights, an issue likely to be resolved soon. Once settled, contract extensions for both Salah and Van Dijk are expected to be announced by Liverpool.
The retention of these two influential players will be a major boost for Liverpool, as both have played key roles in the team’s strong performances this season.
Meanwhile, Ornstein also mentioned concerns about Trent Alexander-Arnold, though no further details were provided.
For Liverpool, securing Salah’s future is a crucial step in maintaining their momentum and ambitions for future trophies.
