Liverpool announced this Friday the “long” term renewal of Mohamed Salah, whose contract expired in 2023. The network group does not give details of the extension of the new relationship, but according to Sky Sports, the Egyptian striker signs until 2025, so his journey at Anfield would end at the age of 33.

“I feel great and I’m excited to win trophies with the club again. It’s a happy day for everyone,” the African said in a statement broadcast on club channels. The forward, top scorer this year in the Premier League with 23 goals, had sounded in recent days as a possible reinforcement of several European clubs.

“It took me a little time to renew but now it’s done, so we just have to focus on the next step”, added a Salah who also valued Liverpool’s performance in recent seasons: “I think you can see in the last five or six years that the team has always gone up”.

“Last season we were close to winning four titles, but unfortunately in the last week of the season we lost two trophies,” he bitterly recalls how Jürgen Klopp’s pupils could not win the Premier League, finally in the hands of Manchester City, and lost. the Champions League final against Real Madrid.

After the departure of Sadio Mané, who signed a few weeks ago for Bayern Munich, the continuity of Salah seemed crucial in a team that this year has strengthened its lead with the signing of Darwin Núñez for 75 million fixed plus 25 variables and adds to the hiring last winter of Luis Díaz for 47 million.
