Liverpool FC has officially announced that Mohamed Salah has signed a new two-year contract extension, securing his place at Anfield until the end of the 2026–27 season. This deal not only reaffirms Salah’s commitment to the club but also positions him among the highest-paid players in the Premier League.
Contract Details and Financials
The new contract is reportedly valued at £41.6 million over its duration, equating to a weekly wage of approximately £400,000.

Salah’s Impact at Liverpool
Since joining Liverpool in 2017 from AS Roma, Salah has been instrumental in the club’s success. He has scored 184 Premier League goals, making him Liverpool’s all-time top scorer in the competition. His accolades include the Premier League Golden Boot, PFA Player of the Year, and FWA Footballer of the Year.
Commitment Amid External Interest
Despite lucrative offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia, Salah chose to extend his stay at Liverpool. He expressed his desire to continue breaking records and his ambition to win the Ballon d’Or with the club.
Mohamed Salah said
“Of course I’m very excited. We have a great team now. Before also we had a great team. But I signed because I think we have a chance to win other trophies and enjoy my football.
“It’s great, I had my best years here. I played eight years, hopefully it’s going to be 10. Enjoying my life here, enjoying my football. I had the best years in my career.
“I would like to say to [the fans], I am very, very happy to be here. I signed here because I believe we can win a lot of big trophies together. Keep supporting us and we’ll give it our best, and hopefully in the future we’re going to win more trophies.”
Looking Ahead
With Liverpool currently leading the Premier League by 11 points and seven games remaining, Salah’s extension comes at a pivotal time. The club aims to secure another league title, and Salah’s presence is expected to be a driving force in this pursuit.
Salah’s new contract not only solidifies his legacy at Liverpool but also signals the club’s intent to maintain its competitive edge in both domestic and European competitions.
