Mohamed Salah is reportedly on the verge of signing a new two-year contract with Liverpool, bringing an end to months of speculation about his future at Anfield.
As his current contract was set to expire in the summer, the Egyptian international’s future had been a subject of intense focus, with many wondering if he would remain with the Reds or seek a move elsewhere.
However, according to The Mirror, Salah is now close to committing his long-term future to Liverpool with a new deal that will keep him at the club.
This news will come as a relief to Liverpool supporters, who have watched Salah continue to shine on the pitch, already netting 15 goals in 21 appearances this season.
His form has been pivotal in keeping Liverpool at the top of both the Premier League and the Champions League, where they are poised to compete for major trophies.
Salah’s potential new contract comes at a time when the Reds, under new manager Arne Slot, are enjoying a successful start to the season, with their eye on silverware and the possibility of dethroning Manchester City, who have been dominant in recent years.
Salah’s future had been a topic of much debate at Anfield, particularly alongside the futures of other key players like Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
A number of top clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, had been linked with a move for the 31-year-old forward.
However, PSG have now reportedly distanced themselves from pursuing Salah, putting an end to speculation about a possible switch to Ligue 1.
The Reds’ Premier League match against Everton in Gameweek 15 was postponed due to adverse weather conditions, but Liverpool will return to action midweek for a crucial Champions League clash against Girona.
With Salah expected to remain at Liverpool, fans will be eager to see how the club’s ambitions unfold under Slot’s guidance, with Salah’s continued presence integral to the team’s success moving forward.
