Salah Signs New Liverpool Contract as Club Breaks Age Policy to Keep Him
Mohamed Salah has officially extended his stay at Liverpool, putting an end to the buzz around his future.
The club confirmed the new deal on Friday, calming fears among fans as the 32-year-old’s previous contract was set to run out this summer.
Top clubs like PSG and several teams in Saudi Arabia had shown interest, but Salah has chosen to stay with the Reds, signing a two-year deal reportedly worth £380,000 a week.
Interestingly, this move sees Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, bending a long-standing rule. They’ve typically avoided handing out new deals to players over 30, but Salah’s importance to the team clearly tipped the scales.
Sources say negotiations had dragged on for a while as Salah and his agent, Ramy Abbas, pushed for better terms. He had initially asked for a three-year extension, and while he didn’t get that, FSG still made an exception to keep their star man at Anfield.
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
