Mohamed Salah has become a Liverpool legend in his five years at Anfield
Mohamed Salah has signed a new three-year contract with Liverpool.
The 30-year-old Egyptian striker had only one year left on his previous contract and there were doubts about whether he would stay.
Salah has scored 156 goals in 254 appearances during his five years at Anfield since leaving Rome.
He said: “I feel great and I’m excited to win trophies with the club. It’s a happy day for everyone. We’re in a good position to fight for everything.”
Salah has won the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and Uefa Super Cup during his stay at Anfield.
He has also won or shared three Premier League Golden Boots and has been named PFA Player of the Year twice while on Jurgen Klopp’s team.
The renewal is a big boost after the departure of his teammate Sadio Mané to Bayern Munich this summer.
Liverpool won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup this season, but played a quadruple until the last week of the season, fell short in the Premier League and lost the Champions League final to Real Madrid. .
They have recruited Benfica and Uruguay striker Darwin Núñez for an initial £ 64 million to make up for Mané’s loss.
“I think it takes some time to renew, but now everything is done, so we just have to focus on what’s to come,” Salah said.
“I think you can see that in the last five or six years the team has always gone [upwards]. Last season we were close to winning four, but unfortunately in the last week of the season we lost two trophies.
“We also have new signings. We just have to keep working hard, have good vision, be positive and do everything again.”
