Liverpool’s Salah Signs Extension, Plans Career Till 40 Amid Saudi Talks

Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool forward, has expressed confidence that he can continue playing professional football until the age of 39 or 40, though he would stop earlier if he felt it was time. After a highly successful season with Liverpool, where he scored 29 goals and helped the club win the Premier League title, Salah signed a new two-year contract with Liverpool despite lucrative offers from the Saudi Pro League, reportedly worth at least £500 million. He revealed there were serious negotiations with Saudi clubs, including a £150 million bid from Al-Ittihad that Liverpool rejected, and he remains in contact with Saudi teams about a possible future move after his contract expires in 2027. Salah denied links to other major European clubs such as Real Madrid or Barcelona during the contract saga and highlighted the strong bond with Liverpool fans as a significant factor in his decision to stay. He also commented on the differences between Liverpool's new coach Arne Slot and former manager Jürgen Klopp, expressing a preference for Slot's communication style. Looking ahead, Salah remains uncertain about his post-Liverpool future but is happy at the club for the next two years before deciding his next steps.
