Salah Extends Liverpool Contract Amid Saudi Speculation

Mohamed Salah has signed a new two-year contract with Liverpool, securing his stay until 2027 and ending speculation about a potential move to the Saudi Pro League, where he was offered significantly higher wages. Salah's new deal, reportedly close to £400,000 per week, makes him one of the Premier League's top earners. His decision was driven by a desire to continue competing at the highest level and to pursue personal accolades such as the Ballon d'Or. Liverpool's financial capacity to meet Salah's demands was reportedly aided by the anticipated departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid, freeing up wage expenses. The extension has been seen positively by Liverpool's management, with head coach Arne Slot suggesting it will help attract new talent such as Alexander Isak. Despite missing a lucrative deal in Saudi Arabia, Salah remains focused on his legacy and contributing to Liverpool and Egypt's success.
