Liverpool Football Club has officially confirmed that star forward Mohamed Salah has signed a new two-year contract extension to remain at Anfield. The Egyptian international, whose previous contract was set to expire in June, was reportedly being targeted by Saudi Pro League clubs. But now, he’s set to stay until at least 2027.
Why Did Salah Choose to Stay?
Speaking during a press conference following the announcement, Liverpool manager Arne Slot subtly hinted that financial incentives played a role in Salah’s decision to stay with the Premier League giants.
“I am part of the process but I don’t deserve the compliments. It’s Mo, his agent and then FSG, Richard [Hughes] — they all put in the effort, which means money!” Slot joked.
After his tongue-in-cheek comment, Slot clarified that Salah’s decision was not solely based on money but also on the ambition and direction of the club:
“What it might tell you is that it’s not only a good season — we want more next season, and Mo is convinced we can achieve that. That is positive for us.”
What This Means for Liverpool
Salah’s continued presence offers a huge boost to Liverpool’s attacking lineup and showcases the club’s intention to remain competitive at the highest level. The 32-year-old forward remains one of the most prolific players in world football, and keeping him on Merseyside is seen as a major victory for new manager Arne Slot.
This development comes at a time when several Premier League stars are being lured by lucrative offers from the Middle East. Salah’s loyalty, even if partially driven by financial motivation, sends a strong message that Liverpool remains a desirable destination for top talent.

Final Thoughts

While money may have played a part, the vision of continued success under Arne Slot appears to have sealed the deal. With Salah’s future now secured, Liverpool can focus on chasing silverware in the coming seasons.
