Egyptian and Liverpool Forward Mohammed Salah is reportedly closing in on a new contract with Liverpool, signaling a major breakthrough in talks that could see him remain at Anfield until 2027.
According to several trusted sources, including The Times’ Paul Joyce and The Athletic’s David Ornstein, optimism is growing that Salah will soon put pen to paper. The club’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, is said to be leading discussions with Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa.
Joyce reports that “sources in his homeland indicate that an accord is now close,” while Ornstein states that new deals for both Salah and Virgil van Dijk are now seen as a matter of “when, not if.”
Further supporting this development, Daily Mail journalist Lewis Steele notes that Salah’s renewal is “closer than ever,” with a two-year extension appearing to be the most likely outcome. If finalized, it would see Salah remain at Liverpool until 2027—marking a full decade at the club, by which time he will be approaching his 35th birthday.
Interestingly, Steele reveals that a contract offer has been “on the table for some time,” but Salah had been holding out for improved terms. It now appears that he has accepted the club’s conditions, signaling his intent to stay and continue building his legacy at Anfield.
This news comes at a pivotal moment for Liverpool. Despite leading the Premier League table, fan morale had dipped amid uncertainty over the futures of key players. The latest reports offer a timely boost for supporters, promising continued stability in the squad.
Salah’s contribution this season has been nothing short of extraordinary. With 32 goals in all competitions—his highest tally since his sensational debut campaign in 2017/18—and a career-best 22 assists, he has underlined his evolution into not just a prolific scorer but also a creative force for the team.
As Liverpool look to end the season on a high, the prospect of tying down Salah and Van Dijk sends a powerful message: the Reds are not just chasing trophies—they’re building for the future.
