As Liverpool strives for success across various competitions, securing the futures of key players remains an open issue, with the contracts of Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold all set to expire at the end of the season.
Salah has long been linked with a summer move to Saudi Arabia, but the latest update on the club’s star forward brings positive news for Liverpool. Reports suggest that Salah is now “closer than ever” to agreeing on a new contract at Anfield.
Mo Salah Nears New Contract
Spanish sources, as relayed by Football365, report that Liverpool has ramped up efforts to secure Salah’s future with a last-minute push. With his current deal expiring soon, Salah had previously stated that this season would be his last at the club due to stalled contract talks.
However, the latest developments suggest that Salah is now leaning towards staying, with Liverpool’s ongoing success playing a key role in his decision. Sources indicate that Salah is in talks over a deal that could “turn the Premier League upside down,” with the Egyptian now considering a new contract.
A significant factor in this shift is the impact of Arne Slot, the Dutch manager who took over after Jurgen Klopp’s departure. Slot has made a strong impression on Salah, offering him reassurance and confidence that Anfield is still the ideal place for him to achieve both personal and team success.
Salah’s intentions to stay were made clear following his goal against Everton, where he passionately patted the Liverpool badge on his chest in celebration.
With Liverpool firmly in the Premier League title race and advancing in the Champions League, the possibility of winning more silverware may now be enough to convince Salah to remain at the club.
Mo Salah Continues to Excel at Liverpool
Since joining Liverpool from AS Roma in 2017 for a reported £35 million, Salah has been nothing short of spectacular. The 32-year-old has scored 239 goals and provided 107 assists in 385 appearances. This season, he remains a key figure, with 28 goals and 19 assists in 36 appearances across all competitions, leading both charts in the Premier League. His contributions have been pivotal in propelling Liverpool to the top of both the Premier League and Champions League tables.
While the situation is still unresolved, all signs suggest Salah is increasingly likely to extend his legendary career at Anfield.
