Salah Set To Sign New Deal With Liverpool

Mo Salah is set to sign a new deal worth £42million that will see him complete a decade at ­Liverpool.

Anfield’s Egyptian king is understood to be ready to put pen to paper on a contract until 2027.

The current deal of the Kop’s Egyptian King expires at the end of the season, with Salah himself previously hinting this could be his final year playing at Anfield.

But Owners Fenway Sports Group are confident Salah, 32, will ignore the lure of the Saudi Pro League by signing up for £400,000 per week.

It comes after fellow contract rebel Virgil van Dijk said “progress” had been made on his own new deal.

There were fears Salah, skipper Van Dijk, 32, and Trent Alexander-Arnold could all walk away as free agents this summer.

While Alexander-Arnold, 26, is bound for Real Madrid, Salah and Van Dijk look set to give Liverpool a huge boost as they close in on the Prem title.

Sporting director Richard Hughes has developed a close relationship with Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas Issa during negotiations.

And Salah is prepared to miss Egypt’s June training camp to rest his body so he is at his best for Liverpool next season.

Saudi Arabia has long had interest in Salah, with a £150million bid from Al-Ittihad rejected in 2023.
