Fabrizio Romano has revealed two key factors that kept Mohamed Salah at Liverpool,

In a decision that balances personal happiness with professional ambition, the 32-year-old committed his future to Liverpool Football Club, signing a two-year contract extension that will keep him at Anfield until 2027.

The agreement, announced Friday morning, brings to an end months of speculation about the Egyptian forward’s future.

It certainly was a rollercoaster ride that tested Liverpool fans’ emotional resilience.

Starting even at the heart-stopping £150 million Saudi bid in Jurgen Klopp’s last summer to Salah’s own December admission that he was “far away” from a new deal, supporters rode waves of anxiety for months.

Each press conference became a potential bombshell, with cryptic social media posts from his agent Ramy Abbas only intensifying speculation.

The flirtation with Al-Ittihad’s astronomical £2.5 million weekly offer had fans preparing for the unthinkable, while Salah’s “maybe this is my last year” comments sent shockwaves through Merseyside.

But thankfully, the Egyptian king remains at Anfield for the foreseeable future – with his reported fixed weekly wage of £400,000 ( plus performance-based bonuses that could net him £480,000 weekly) ensuring that his quality is properly remunerated.

Now Fabrizio Romano has shared two factors he feels were key in ensuring Mohamed Salah remained at Anfield.

Romano has asserted that his love and passion for Liverpool, as well as the impact Arne Slot has had in his debut season were enough to convince the winger:

“Mo Salah sent a clear indication to the club he really wanted to stay at Liverpool,” the Italian transfer journalist wrote in his Daily Briefing.

“But few months ago, considering October, November, December, there was strong interest from Saudi, concrete interest from Saudi.

“They were prepared to offer big money to Mo Salah.

I’m told not the same package of money offered to Vinicius Junior but in that region so really big amount of money but Mo Salah loves Liverpool.

“Mo Salah feels he can still make the difference in the Premier League.”

“Mo Salah is very happy with Arne Slot as a coach and with Liverpool project for long term?

These were two crucial factors.”

“Okay, the money always important in football in general, not just for the player, but what really changed the story is the coach Arne Slot.”

For a player who has already won the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup with Liverpool, the motivation to add further silverware remains undimmed – and with Arne Slot at the helm, he feels he can achieve even more.
