After extending his contract with Premier League champions Liverpool, Mohamed Salah will continue at Anfield for several more years – but in Saudi Arabia they are still holding out hope of signing him.
Since the Egyptian superstar arrived at Liverpool in the summer of 2017, he has been banging in goals season after season, remembering a comment right after he left Rome and was presented at Anfield that. “Even though he is doing well in Serie A, Mohamed Salah is too small (175) and flimsy for the world’s toughest league, the Premier League!” – Equally wrong, this season he has delivered some of the best it is possible to deliver in football. The series has been won a lot thanks to 28th goals and 18th assist signed by Salah.

Mohamed Salah will continue to wear the Liverpool shirt for several seasons. The Egyptian striker has secured his future at Anfield with a contract extension that ties him to the club until 2027. This puts an end to months of speculation about his immediate future. On Merseyside, the news is being celebrated as an important signal, as one of the Premier League’s most influential players in recent decades will still be part of the team.
Salah still in demand in Saudi Arabia
With this choice, the English club reinforces its commitment to sporting stability after several strong seasons with Salah as a central figure. The African winger has not only been a goal-scoring player, but also a key figure in Liverpool’s recent successes, both domestically and internationally. His contract extension sends a clear message that the sporting project is still building on his talent.
The player’s decision to stay in England can also be seen as a direct response to the many offers from the Middle East. Saudi Arabian clubs had increased the pressure to persuade him with lucrative contracts, but Salah chose to remain in top football in Europe. His loyalty to the club and the Premier League outweighed financial incentives.
This has not scared away the big clubs in Saudi Arabia. They plan to return in the summer of 2026, when the striker will be 33 years old and perhaps consider a new challenge. Riyadh is convinced that time and an opportunity for one last major contract in the Gulf region can entice him. Until then, Salah will continue to lead Liverpool’s attack with the same ambition that has characterized him since his arrival.
