Salah ends speculation by signing new Liverpool contract

Liverpool – Mohamed Salah ended speculation over his future by signing a new contract with Liverpool on Friday that will reportedly run to 2025.

The Egyptian, who has scored 156 goals in 254 appearances for the Reds, had entered the final year of his previous contract.

The Egyptian forward starred for the Reds last season, helping them win both domestic cups while coming dangerously close to what would have been an unprecedented quadruple. However, until his contract extension was made official, there was always doubt, with fans reading all kinds of things into a cryptic tweet from the player's agent.

There were some, too, who might not have begrudged him leaving. Had he not won everything there was to win with Liverpool? Would a new challenge - however he interpreted such a phrase - not be warranted?

The issue in these situations, of course, is financial. Money is less of an issue for PSG than it is for Liverpool, and that's before we get onto the matter of wage structures.
