Mohamed Salah signs new long-term contract at Liverpool to end speculation over his Anfield future
Mohamed Salah has ended speculation about his Liverpool future by signing a new three-year contract. His previous contract was due to expire next summer. His new terms, in excess of £350,000 a week, makes him the highest-paid player in the club's history. The deal still fits into the club's sustainable wage structure and is incentivised with scoring bonuses.
Sporting director Julian Ward jetted out to meet Salah, who is on holiday, to finalise the paperwork and FSG president Mike Gordon was instructive in negotiations with the Egyptian's agent Ramy Abbas Issa.
"I feel great and [I am] excited to win trophies with the club. It's a happy day for everyone," Salah said.
"It takes a little bit of time, I think, to renew, but now everything is done so we just need to focus on what's next.
"I think you can see in the last five or six years the team was always going [upwards]. Last season we were close to winning four, but unfortunately in the last week of the season we lost two trophies.
"I think we are in a good position to fight for everything. We have new signings as well. We just need to keep working hard, have a good vision, be positive and go for everything again."
