Salah extends stay with Liverpool

 

 

Mohamed Salah has put pen to paper on a new long-term deal with Liverpool, the Premier League powerhouse have announced. 

 

Salah's contract was set to expire next year, and there were concerns that the Reds would have to cash in on the Egyptian this summer. 

 

However, the 30-year-old, who scored 23 and registered 13 assists, has committed his future to the club, which is a huge boost ahead of the 2022/23 season. 

 

"Liverpool FC are delighted to announce Mohamed Salah has signed a new long-term contract with the club," a statement read on the club's official website. 

 

"The forward, who was named the FWA Footballer of the Year and the PFA Players’ Player of the Year for 2021-22 after helping Jürgen Klopp’s side to a domestic cup double, has committed his future to the Reds by putting pen to paper on the deal on Friday. 

 

"After five years with the club, Salah will now extend a stay at Anfield that has so far yielded a remarkable 156 goals in 254 appearances." 

 

 

On his new deal, Salah said: "I feel great and [I am] excited to win trophies with the club. It’s a happy day for everyone. 

 

"It takes a little bit of time, I think, to renew, but now everything is done so we just need to focus on what’s next. 

 

"I think you can see in the last five or six years the team was always going [upwards]. Last season we were close to winning four, but unfortunately in the last week of the season we lost two trophies. 

 

"I think we are in a good position to fight for everything. We have new signings as well. We just need to keep working hard, have a good vision, be positive and go for everything again." 

 

Tying Salah down to a new deal was vital for Liverpool, who last month sold Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich.
