Mohamed Salah stays! After months of uncertainty and speculation, the Egyptian has committed his future to Liverpool by putting pen-to-paper on a new three year deal.
With his previous deal set to expire in 2023, the forward had been about to enter the final 12 months of his contract and would have been free to talk to overseas clubs regarding a pre-contract agreement from January. However, with the Reds keen for the 30-year-old to stay put and Salah’s priority not to depart either, the two parties have now reached a breakthrough in negotiations.
With his new deal believed to be worth roughly £350k a week, the ECHO understands that Salah will become the highest paid player in the club’s history, and indeed be paid less than £400k a week. However, his new terms are heavily incentivised so he could earn more based on player performance. Meanwhile, the extension is for three years, securing the forward’s future until the summer of 2025 when he will celebrate his 33rd birthday.
