šļø LIVERPOOL, England ā Mohamed Salah Isnāt Done at Anfield Yet
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is on the verge of signing a new contract, a source has confirmed to ESPN ā a deal that would lock in the clubās most iconic modern player during a summer of major transition.
While the futures of Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold remain uncertain, confidence is growing that both Salah and Van Dijk will stay. Van Dijk even confirmed āprogressā in negotiations this past weekend.
All eyes, however, are now firmly on Salah ā and what his decision means for Liverpoolās post-Klopp era.
š§Ø Still at the Top of His Game at 32
Salah isnāt slowing down. If anything, heās breaking records:
-
32 goals and 22 assists across all competitions this season
-
44 Premier League goal contributions ā tied for most in a 38-game season
-
Just four more to become the highest contributor in PL history for a single season
Liverpool currently sit 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League table ā and Salah has been central to that dominance.
š Salahās Legacy at Liverpool
Already third all-time on Liverpoolās scoring list, Salah is now:
-
Tied with Sergio AgĆ¼ero (5th) on the Premier League all-time goals chart
-
A winner of eight major trophies with the Reds
-
A three-time Golden Boot winner
-
Back-to-back African Player of the Year (2017, 2018)
Heās more than a top player. Heās the symbol of Liverpoolās golden era under JĆ¼rgen Klopp.
āThere is no club like this. I love the fans. The fans love me,ā Salah said in December.
š Contract Talks Amid a Changing Liverpool
-
Trent Alexander-Arnold: Reportedly on Real Madridās radar as a free transfer target
-
Virgil van Dijk: In advanced discussions, with positive signs
-
Arne Slot is expected to take over managerial duties post-Klopp
Salahās commitment would send a powerful message of continuity, stability, and ambition.
Liverpool arenāt rebuilding ā theyāre reloading.
š Whatās at Stake?
If Salah stays and breaks the ShearerāCole goal contribution record, heāll not only cement his legacy ā heāll enter the conversation as one of the Premier Leagueās all-time greats.
And for Liverpool, keeping Salah is more than smart business ā itās a statement of who they are, and where theyāre going.
Because if Salah is staying, the Reds arenāt slowing down anytime soon.
