Salah previously had a contract that ran through 2023, and he concluded last season as the Reds’ leading scorer. He will remain at Liverpool on the new contract until 2025, and he will become the highest-paid player in the history of the club to be paid wages over £350,000 per week.

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

Since joining Liverpool from the Italian club in 2017, the former Chelsea and AS Roma forward have been a significant player, helping Jurgen Klopp’s team win the Premier League and Champions League among other honours. The news comes shortly after Sadio Mane, one of Liverpool’s title-winning strikers, left for Bayern Munich.

“I feel great and [I am] excited to win trophies with the club,” Salah told liverpoolfc.com. “It’s a happy day for everyone.

“It takes a little bit of time, I think, to renew, but now everything is done so we just need to focus on what’s next. I think you can see in the last five or six years the team was always going [upwards].
