Liverpool fans have reason to celebrate as club owner John Henry confirms that the Reds have reached an agreement with Mohamed Salah on a new contract. Salah, whose current deal was set to expire next summer, has reportedly turned down offers from eight major clubs to remain at Anfield.
In a statement, Henry highlighted the importance of securing Salah’s future at the club:“Mo is not just a player; he’s a symbol of what Liverpool stands for. His commitment to our team and our fans is unmatched, and ensuring he stays with us was a top priority. This agreement is advantageous for both Mo and the club, solidifying our ambitions for continued success.”
Salah, who has scored an incredible 227 goals and provided 100 assists in 372 appearances for Liverpool, is considered one of the club’s greatest-ever players. Despite interest from clubs like Al Hilal, Barcelona, Juventus, and Inter Miami, the Egyptian King has shown his loyalty to Liverpool by rejecting all offers.
The new contract, expected to be a two-year extension, reportedly keeps Salah as Liverpool’s highest earner, with a weekly salary of £350,000. For Henry, this deal is more than just numbers:“We know how vital Mo is to our present and future. His leadership on and off the pitch inspires everyone at the club, and we’re delighted he’ll continue to wear the Liverpool shirt.”
The official announcement of the deal is anticipated soon, with Liverpool fans already hailing it as the best holiday gift they could have hoped for.
