Liverpool fans have reason to celebrate as Mohamed Salah is reportedly on the verge of signing a new contract that will keep him at Anfield beyond the summer. After months of speculation and external interest, particularly from the Saudi Pro League, negotiations between the club and Salah have significantly advanced, with both parties confident of sealing the deal soon.

Salah, now 32, continues to play a central role in Liverpool’s domestic dominance. The Egyptian forward has been in blistering form this season, racking up an astonishing 27 goals and 17 assists in just 31 Premier League appearances. His contributions have propelled Liverpool to an 11-point lead at the top of the table, placing them in pole position to reclaim the title.

The new deal is expected to extend Salah’s stay at Anfield by an additional two years, taking his contract through to 2027. Despite being in his early thirties, there is no indication that the new agreement will include a pay cut a reflection of his ongoing importance to the club's ambitions under manager Jürgen Klopp’s evolving system.

This latest development marks a turning point in Salah’s contract saga, which had been clouded by speculation of a big-money move to Saudi Arabia. However, Salah has consistently reaffirmed his commitment to Liverpool, making it clear that he prioritizes his legacy, competitive ambition, and the opportunity to win more silverware on Merseyside.

In a further boost to the Reds’ long-term plans, club captain Virgil van Dijk is also reportedly close to agreeing to a new contract. The Dutch defender has been a rock at the heart of Liverpool’s defense since his arrival in 2018, and his extension will bring stability to a backline that has faced its fair share of transition in recent seasons.

However, not all the news is rosy. Reports suggest that right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold may be on the move this summer, with Real Madrid showing strong interest in the England international. A departure would be a significant loss for the Reds, but the club’s ability to retain Salah and Van Dijk could help soften that blow.

With the Premier League title race nearing its climax and the summer transfer window looming, Liverpool’s moves behind the scenes indicate a strategic commitment to keeping the spine of the squad intact. Salah’s likely contract extension is not just a victory in negotiations it's a statement of intent from a club determined to remain at the pinnacle of European football.
