Mohamed Salah has put to bed any uncertainty over his Liverpool future by signing a new two-year deal at Anfield.
The Egyptian winger faced an uncertain future as he approached the end of his deal, but he finally signed on the dotted line.
Salah was a long-term target for Saudi Arabian clubs, but he didn’t shut down speculation over his Liverpool future.
However, Virgil van Dijk is set to follow him, amid club optimism that he will also extend his stay.
A statement read: “Liverpool FC can announce Mohamed Salah has signed a new contract to keep him with the club beyond the 2024-25 season.
“The forward, who is enjoying another stellar campaign for the Reds, has committed his future by putting pen to paper on the deal.”
The Egypt international has 27 goals and 17 assists in the 2024-25 Premier League for a total of 44 contributions, and no player has ever produced as many as 45 in a single Premier League campaign.
Furthermore, Salah only needs four more combined goals and assists to break the record for the most direct involvements in any Premier League season, as Alan Shearer and Andy Cole previously managed a monumental 47 in 42-game campaigns.
Salah’s last Premier League goal also moved him onto a staggering 184 from 294 appearances in the competition, putting him joint-fifth in the all-time charts alongside Sergio Aguero, whom he needs just one more strike to overtake.
The 32-year-old has a goals-to-games ratio of 0.63 in the Premier League, putting him on track to score a whopping 235 if he plays in every top-flight match between now and the end of the 2026-27 season.
In that scenario, Salah would end his Liverpool career as the second-highest Premier League scorer ever, also overtaking Cole (187), Wayne Rooney (208) and Harry Kane (213), but Shearer’s unprecedented 260 remains safe.
