Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has committed to a new two-year contract, extending his successful tenure at Anfield until 2027.
After months of speculation, Salah’s future is now settled, allowing Premier League leaders Liverpool to shift their focus to securing a new deal for captain Virgil Van Dijk. Like Salah, Van Dijk’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, but both the club and player remain optimistic about reaching an agreement.
Meanwhile, right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is also approaching free agency, but unlike Salah and Van Dijk, he is expected to leave, with Real Madrid emerging as a likely destination.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Liverpool manager Arne Slot played a crucial role in Salah’s decision to stay. Speaking to The Daily Briefing, Romano explained that despite strong interest and lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, Salah prioritized his love for Liverpool and his belief that he can still make a difference in the Premier League. Additionally, his confidence in Slot and Liverpool’s long-term vision significantly influenced his choice.
Arne Slot’s impact on Liverpool has been transformative in his debut season. With the club on the verge of securing the Premier League title, he has already cemented his status among fans. His appointment has proven to be a masterstroke, not only leading the team to success but also securing key players like Salah.
Looking ahead, Liverpool is eager to strengthen their squad in the upcoming transfer window, with Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella among their top targets.
