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.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup may have come to an end, but fans are still talking about its historic entertainment lineup.

Some of the performers included:
- Madonna
- BTS
- Shakira
- Burna Boy
- Justin Bieber
- Chris Martin (Coldplay)
- Jennifer Hudson
- Robbie Williams
- Nicole Scherzinger
- Laura Pausini
- Post Malone
- PS22 Chorus

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
