Liverpool and Mohamed Salah have reportedly reached a preliminary agreement on a new two-year contract, which would keep the 32-year-old at Anfield until 2027.
With Salah’s current deal set to expire at the end of the season, speculation about his potential departure had caused concern among fans. However, his exceptional form this season has made his contract renewal a top priority for the club.
Salah has played a key role in Liverpool’s success under manager Arne Slot, contributing 20 goals and 17 assists in just 20 matches during the first half of the 2024/25 season. This remarkable performance has positioned him as a strong contender for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
Journalist David Ornstein has confirmed positive news regarding Salah’s future, stating that both he and Virgil van Dijk are expected to stay at the club beyond this season.
According to Football Insider, the delay in finalizing Salah’s new contract is reportedly due to ongoing negotiations over his image rights, an issue that is expected to be resolved soon. Once settled, Liverpool is likely to announce contract extensions for both Salah and Van Dijk.
Retaining these key players will provide a significant boost for Liverpool, as both have been crucial to the team’s strong performance this season.
Ornstein also mentioned concerns regarding Trent Alexander-Arnold, although no further details were shared.
For Liverpool, securing Salah’s future is an important step in maintaining their momentum and ambition for future trophies.
