The Daily Mirror reports that Salah has come to an agreement with Liverpool’s owners Fenway Sports Group which will see the 32-year-old pen a new contract until 2027.

His current contract expires at the end of the season and it had been looking increasingly likely that he would leave on a free transfer.

Contract negotiations had not been going well, with FSG unwilling to offer Salah the three-year extension he was demanding.

Instead FSG were only prepared to offer a one-year extension – as is club policy for players over the age of 30 – but a compromise has been reached for it to be a two-year deal.

This will bring to an end an exhausting and increasingly ugly contract saga which most recently led to Salah criticising the club publicly over negotiations.

Saudi interest in Salah

It will also end the chances of Salah moving to the Saudi Pro League.

Salah was the subject of some huge offers from the Saudi Pro League during the summer transfer window of 2023.

Al-Ittihad had a massive offer of €175 million rejected by Liverpool in the closing days of the summer.

Saudi sides were expected to return to make a new offer for Salah on a free transfer in 2025.

But those hopes are soon to be dashed by Salah’s new contract.

Salah joined Liverpool from Roma for a bargain €38m in 2017 and has since gone on to become one of the club’s greatest players of all time.

He has scored 226 goals in 370 games for Liverpool, leading the club to the Premier League and Champions League titles. He has won three Premier League Golden Boots and was Premier League Player of the Year in 2017-18.

He has shown no signs of slowing down this season with 15 goals in 21 games in all competitions leading Liverpool to top of the Premier League and Champions League.
