Liverpool have announced the signing of Mohamed Salah on a long term deal. After months of speculation, the Reds have finally got their star player to put pen to paper and prolong his time at Anfield for three years. The attacker's agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, posted a laughing emoji on Friday afternoon. It was believed that the intermediary was winding the fans up.

By Rumeana Jahangir Published 11 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Ask any Liverpool fan what they think of Mohamed Salah's new contract and you will get a mixture of relief and joy that he will be "running down the wing" for another three years. In his first season after moving from Italian club Roma in 2017, the "Egyptian King" was the Premier League's top scorer, and he then went on to help the club become European and English champions. But he's won as many - if not more - plaudits for his persona and conduct off the pitch, helping to change perceptions of elite footballers and break cultural boundaries. His charitable contributions - to education, healthcare and animal rights projects - have won praise and prompted a former football communications officer to remark that he has "never forgotten his roots". But it was his act of prostrating in prayer … [Read more...] about Mohamed Salah: Why new Liverpool deal goes beyond football

To the untrained eye, Mohamed Salah's future looked uncertain right up until, oh, maybe 10 minutes before he signed his new deal with Liverpool . 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? After all, this was some of the language used to justify Sadio Mane's decision to trade Anfield for Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena . As Liverpool prepare for more years of Salah, though, one wonders whether Mane's decision helped his former teammate. While June 2023 was looming large for … [Read more...] about How Mohamed Salah won Liverpool contract battle after Sadio Mane helping hand
