Liverpool fans all around the globe woke up to the news that Mohamed Salah signed a new deal at Anfield and ended the long-running speculation around the situation.
Salah signed a new two-year contract, ensuring the Egyptian forward remains at Anfield until 2027.
The new deal marks a significant financial investment by Fenway Sports Group (FSG), Liverpool’s ownership group, which had faced criticism in recent years for restrained spending compared to rivals.
Salah’s salary has risen to approximately £480,769 per week, inclusive of performance-based incentives tied to individual and team achievements.
This structure aligns with FSG’s model of balancing fiscal responsibility with competitive ambition, as the club avoids guaranteed high wages in favor of rewarding tangible success.
Manager Arne Slot acknowledged the ownership’s “effort,” bluntly stating, “The effort mostly means money,” a rare public admission of the financial heavy lifting required to retain elite talent.
Salah’s extension positions him to further etch his name into Liverpool folklore.
With 243 goals in 394 appearances, he trails only Ian Rush (346) and Roger Hunt (285) in the club’s all-time scoring ranks.
The contract ensures he will surpass Hunt and challenge Rush’s record, provided he maintains his current form.
Notably, Salah’s 27 Premier League goals this season place him fifth in the competition’s all-time scoring list, with Alan Shearer’s record (260) now a plausible long-term target.
And it seems his new contract has got the rest of the Premier League on watch.
Posting on his Snapchat account, Nottingham Forest wingback shared his hilarious reaction on the news, and it’s no doubt a sentiment shared with plenty of other Premier League defenders:
“Is he signed, Mohamed has signed again?
The league is finished!
Everyone is in trouble!”, he gushed as he captured his reaction real time
“He actually signed on again?” the Forest man repeated in apparent disbelief.
