Mohamed Salah has signed a new Liverpool contract keeping him at Anfield until 2025.

An 18-month contract impasse has finally ended with Salah becoming the highest paid player in Liverpool history with a salary in excess of £350,000 a week.



Indeed, it is impossible to shake off the view that Mane’s exit made a Salah deal more likely as talks accelerated in the last fortnight.



Virgil Van Dijk, Alisson Becker, Fabinho and Trent Alexander-Arnold were among those to sign new deals in 2021 As recently as May - when Salah openly said he would see out his deal rather than allow himself to be sold - Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, felt it would be too difficult for their star striker to walk away from his Anfield legacy.



Difficulties in negotiations began in 2020 when Liverpool were looking to tie down the core of their multi-trophy winning side.

By the time Salah’s new deal ends, every modern goalscoring record set by Liverpool’s legends will be under threat.

For all Salah’s flirtations with Real Madrid, hints at leaving on a Bosman desal and cryptic social media texts from his agent throughout the negotiation process, Liverpool’s hierarchy always anticipated he would not follow Mane out of the club.
