Deal Close – Liverpool Could Announce Official “Agreement” for Player Within Next Two Weeks
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is expected to sign a new contract with the club before the year ends.
The 32-year-old winger’s current deal at Anfield expires at the end of the season, sparking fears — including from Salah himself — that he could leave as a free agent.
According to Marca, the Egyptian forward is now close to extending his stay at Liverpool for another season.
In recent weeks, Liverpool’s management has held talks with Salah over a contract extension, and they have successfully persuaded him to remain at the club.
The agreement is believed to be nearing completion, with an official announcement likely to be made before the end of the year.
Marca reports: “In recent weeks, the positions have come closer to such an extent that the agreement could be made official before the end of the year.”
Liverpool Need to Sort Out Other Contract Deals Quickly
The Reds winger has expressed his frustration on several occasions regarding the lack of progress in his contract negotiations. However, what has been remarkable is that this has not affected his performances on the pitch.
Salah remains Liverpool’s top scorer in the Premier League with 13 goals to his name. He has also contributed nine assists.
In the Champions League, the Egyptian winger has been equally impressive, scoring two goals and providing four assists.
An official confirmation of his new contract could come unexpectedly. When it does, it will undoubtedly spark excitement among Liverpool fans, who have a deep admiration and love for him.
With Liverpool now confident that Salah will commit his future to the club before the year’s end, the focus must shift to securing new deals for Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Van Dijk continues to prove he is one of the world’s best defenders. At 33 years old, he remains in excellent shape and capable of performing at a high level for another two years, making his contract extension a priority.
Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold has kept discussions about his contract private, although there are growing rumours suggesting a potential move to Real Madrid in the summer.
