Striker Mohamed Salah has been Liverpool’s main name for a few seasons and could be close to securing more time at Anfield, with a contract extension.
According to the British newspaper The Mirror, Liverpool and Salah defined the remaining details to extend the contract, a decision that should be made official soon. The expectation is for a contract for another two years, that is, until June 2027.
The player has to sign before January, to avoid being free on the pre-contract market – this way, he could leave for free to another team.
At 32 years old, Salah is attracting the attention of Arab clubs, Barcelona and PSG. Without Mbappé, he would become the main star of the French club, but his identification with the Reds and his leading role in the team led by Arne Slot weigh in favor of renewal.

— It’s almost December and I haven’t received any offers to stay at the club, so I think I’m more out than in. I’ve been here for many years and there is no other club like this. I’m disappointed with the lack of offerings, for sure. I’m not going to retire soon, but I’m not going to come and ask about the renewal — said the winger in interviews after the victory over Southampton.
— I love the fans, and they love me too, but at the end of the day, the decision is not in my hands, nor in theirs. I’m focused on the season, on winning the Premier League, maybe the Champions League, and I’m disappointed, but let’s wait and see what happens — he added.
On Sunday (01/12), Salah spoke again about his possible departure from Liverpool, stating that this could have been his last game against City at Anfield.
