Liverpool have sent the internet into a frenzy by announcing that Mo Salah will remain at the club after signing a new contract, while a respected journalist has revealed the details of his new salary.
Salah’s future had been a constant topic of speculation throughout the season, with the Egyptian at one point admitting he was “more out than in.” However, negotiations progressed positively, and on Friday morning, Liverpool confirmed his contract extension with a bold statement: “He’s staying,” alongside an image of Salah seated on a throne with the words, “More in than out.”
Since arriving from Roma in 2017, Salah has netted 243 goals and is now on track to spend a decade at Anfield, aiming to shatter even more records. Speaking to the club’s official website, he expressed his excitement about the new deal.
“I’m very excited. We have a great team now, just like before. I signed because I believe we have a chance to win more trophies and continue enjoying football,” Salah said. “I’ve had my best years here, and hopefully, it will be 10 years in total. I’m enjoying my life and football here. I want to say to the fans, I’m very happy to stay. Keep supporting us, and we’ll give our best to win more major trophies.”
Under Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool typically avoids offering contract extensions to players over 30. However, given Salah’s exceptional form—scoring 32 goals and providing 22 assists this season—the club made an exception.
How much will Mo Salah earn?
Salah’s previous contract made him Liverpool’s highest-paid player at £350,000 per week, with speculation that an extension might include a pay cut. However, according to well-regarded journalist Ismael Mahmoud, Salah’s new deal instead includes a 12.5% increase, raising his weekly earnings to £400,000.
Mahmoud, who is reportedly close to Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas Issa, shared on X: “We heard that Salah’s potential salary in the new contract would be a fixed £400,000 per week.”
While this makes it the most lucrative contract in Liverpool’s history, it falls far short of the massive £65 million per year he was reportedly offered by the Saudi Pro League. However, the former Chelsea winger appears to have unfinished business in European football.
