Liverpool and Mohamed Salah have reportedly reached an agreement in principle on a new two-year contract that would keep the 32-year-old at Anfield until 2027.
With Salah’s current deal set to expire at the end of the season, his potential departure had raised concerns among Reds fans. However, the Egyptian superstar’s outstanding form this season has made his renewal a top priority.
Salah has been instrumental in Liverpool’s success under Arne Slot, contributing an impressive 20 goals and 17 assists in just 20 matches during the first half of the 2024/25 campaign.
This stellar performance has positioned him as a leading contender for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
Journalist David Ornstein has confirmed positive developments regarding Salah’s future, stating that both Salah and Virgil van Dijk are expected to remain with the club beyond this season.
According to *Football Insider*, the delay in finalizing Salah’s new deal is reportedly due to negotiations over his image rights, an issue that is expected to be resolved soon. Once resolved, both Salah and Van Dijk are likely to have their contract extensions announced by Liverpool.
The retention of this influential duo will be a significant boost for Liverpool, as both players have been pivotal in the team’s strong performance during the 2024/25 season.
Meanwhile, Ornstein also reported concerns about Trent Alexander-Arnold, though no further details were provided.
For Liverpool, securing Salah’s future represents a major step in maintaining their momentum and ambition for silverware in the seasons to come.
