Mohamed Salah has been the best player in the Premier League by some distance this season, which has put pressure on the Liverpool hierarchy to award the winger with a new contract.
The 32-year-old attacker’s current deal is set to expire at the end of the season, with Paul Merson recently suggesting that Liverpool could offer Salah a new bumper contract to ensure that the Egyptian international stays at Anfield.
With Salah believed to want a two-year extension, Liverpool’s FSG owners are now under immense pressure from the player, pundits and fans to award their star forward a new deal that could keep the Anfield no. 11 at the club during the peak years of his career.
And FSG are now prepared to meet Salah’s wishes after an apparent breakthrough in talks.
Salah set to sign ‘lucrative’ two-year Liverpool contract at long last
According to the Mirror, Salah is set to sign a new ‘lucrative’ contract with Liverpool for two years after months of talks with the club on committing his future to the Merseyside giants, with the deal ready to go through barring any last-minute problems.
With Liverpool also in contract talks with Virgil van Dijk, there’s a good chance that the Netherlands international and Salah could have their new deals signed and announced by the end of 2025, something every Red fan would love to see later this month.

Indeed, Liverpool keeping hold of Salah with the season he’s having under Arne Slot is nothing short of massive for the Merseyside giants, with the 32-year-old winger looking like he could play at the top for a few more years.
And with a new contract now seemingly agreed, Liverpool and Slot can start really planning for the future, with the Reds set to embark into an exciting new chapter with Salah in their ranks and playing better than ever.
Salah penning new contract is bigger than any signing Liverpool could make
Salah will go down as one of the greatest Premier League players of all time after everything the winger has done for Liverpool since returning to England back in 2017 and becoming one of the most feared forwards in the world.
And with Salah penning a new contract to extend his stay at Liverpool, the news for many fans will feel bigger than any signing the Reds could make in the January or summer transfer window for 2025.
Indeed, Salah is currently the best player in world football based on current form, and Liverpool’s FSG owners coming to their senses on handing the winger a new deal has been long overdue this year.
