Liverpool FC fans have every reason to celebrate as Mohamed Salah has officially signed a new contract, extending his stay at Anfield until the summer of 2027. The Egyptian superstar’s renewal not only reinforces his loyalty to the club but also marks a significant boost for Liverpool’s ambitions under newly appointed head coach Arne Slot.
The announcement, made on April 11, 2025, was accompanied by powerful imagery—Salah seated on a throne at Anfield, wearing a crown in front of the Kop. The symbolism was unmistakable: the King of the Kop is here to stay. Since arriving from AS Roma in 2017, Salah has etched his name deep into Liverpool’s history with a record that places him among the greatest to ever wear the red shirt.
We’re delighted to announce that @MoSalah has signed a new long-term contract with the Reds! ❤️#SalahStays

With 243 goals in 394 appearances, Salah stands as one of the most prolific players the club has ever seen. He currently ranks fifth on Liverpool’s all-time scoring list, and with two more years now guaranteed, he has every opportunity to climb even further—potentially surpassing Roger Hunt and Gordon Hodgson. Though Ian Rush’s legendary 346-goal mark remains a lofty target, Salah’s relentless consistency means nothing is out of reach.
Reflecting on the new deal, Salah said: “Of course I’m very excited – we have a great team now. Before we also had a great team. But I signed because I think we have a chance to win other trophies and enjoy my football. I have played eight years here, hopefully it’s going to be 10. I’m enjoying my life here, enjoying my football. I have had the best years of my career here.”
For Arne Slot, who took over managerial duties ahead of the 2024/25 season, Salah’s commitment is a monumental endorsement of his leadership and long-term vision. Slot highlighted the broader meaning behind the deal, stating: “It also shows maybe how ambitious this club is: not only Mo, but the owners. We are really ambitious to keep performing the way this club has performed for so many years.”
Slot’s strategy at Liverpool focuses on a dynamic blend of experienced stalwarts and emerging young talents. In this framework, Salah’s presence becomes pivotal—not just for his goals, but also for the guidance and inspiration he offers to the next generation of Reds.
The new deal also decisively ends rumors of a high-profile move to the Saudi Pro League. Despite interest and significant financial offers from the Gulf, Salah’s choice to remain in the Premier League underscores his hunger to keep competing at the highest level of European football.
With domestic and European silverware once again within reach, Salah’s extension signals intent, belief, and a shared dream between player and club. For Liverpool fans, it’s not just a signature on paper—it’s the promise of more magical nights at Anfield, more records to chase, and more memories yet to be made.
As the Kop continues to roar in admiration, one thing is certain: the Mohamed Salah era is far from finished.
