A recent report from Spanish outlet Marca brings encouraging news for Liverpool fans, revealing that Mohamed Salah is close to agreeing on a new contract with the club.
This update will come as a major relief to supporters, as Salah’s future had been a source of concern. The Egyptian forward is in the final year of his contract, with no extension previously agreed upon, fueling speculation about his potential departure.
Since joining from AS Roma in 2017 for a reported £35 million, Salah has been nothing short of exceptional for Liverpool. The 32-year-old has scored 227 goals and provided 101 assists in 372 appearances, averaging nearly a goal or assist per game. His remarkable consistency has earned him comparisons to football legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
This season, Salah has continued his outstanding form, contributing 16 goals and 13 assists in just 23 matches across all competitions, helping Liverpool rise to the top of both the Premier League and Champions League standings.
Despite his impressive performances, the uncertainty surrounding Salah’s contract had left fans on edge, especially as he nears the point where he could negotiate a pre-contract agreement with other European clubs.
Liverpool Could Announce Mo Salah Deal Before Year-End
According to Marca, there has been significant progress in negotiations, with talks between Salah and Liverpool advancing in recent weeks. There is now optimism that a new deal could be finalized before the year is out.
Securing Salah’s future would be a major boost for Liverpool as they look to build their squad around their star player for the seasons to come.
Once Salah’s contract is resolved, Liverpool is expected to focus on securing deals for other key players, with Virgil van Dijk reportedly next in line for talks. However, the situation surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold is more complicated.
The report suggests that while Salah and van Dijk are likely to remain at Anfield, Alexander-Arnold could be on his way out. The right-back has reportedly turned down two contract extension offers from the club and is said to be keen on a move to Real Madrid.
