New Delhi: Mohamed Salah has signed a new deal with Liverpool. It’s not surprising. In fact, it always felt like the most natural outcome. Sure, there were rumours that he might leave. There were talks about big offers from Saudi Arabia. And even Salah hinted a few times that his future was unclear. But deep down, both the player and the club knew they still needed each other.
Salah’s contract was set to expire next summer. That made people nervous. Would Liverpool cash in now? Would Salah chase a new challenge? But those questions are over. He’s staying. The fans can relax. The new boss, Arne Slot, keeps his main man. And Liverpool’s frontline will still have its star.

Salah kept people guessing over the last few months. After scoring twice against Southampton in November, he said, “I’m more out than in.” It sounded like a goodbye. Even earlier in the season, he looked distant. When Liverpool beat Manchester United 3-0, he didn’t say much. The body language wasn’t great either.
But those moments were more frustration than farewell. Behind the scenes, the club worked quietly. They didn’t want to lose a player who has been one of their greatest. Offers came, yes. But Salah never said yes to them. He was waiting. Maybe for a reason to stay.
That reason came. Klopp’s era ended, but the club didn’t fall apart. The team still finished in the top four. Arne Slot came in with fresh energy. And suddenly, it felt like Salah could be part of something exciting again.

Salah might be 32 now, but he’s still producing big numbers. He scored over 20 goals again last season. That’s eight years in a row now. His pace hasn’t vanished. His dribbles still cause problems. His finishing? As sharp as ever.
He now has 242 Liverpool goals. That puts him third on the all-time list. Only Rush and Hunt have more. In the Premier League, he’s above Henry and Lampard. He’s closing in on Cole. That’s no small achievement.
And it’s not just goals. Salah leads by example. He doesn’t talk much, but he trains hard. He rarely gets injured. He plays every game like it matters. That’s what Liverpool need — especially with a new manager who will rely on experience.
The club made a rare exception to keep him. Owners usually don’t hand big deals to players over 30. But Salah got one. He’ll continue on the £350,000-a-week contract he signed in 2022. That says everything about how important he still is.
Mohamed Salah has committed to Liverpool once again, choosing legacy over money. With Arne Slot arriving, the Egyptian’s decision signals belief, ambition, and a bond that still runs deep. Football Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
