In an exciting development for Liverpool fans, Egyptian journalist Ismael Mahmoud has reported on X that Mohamed Salah’s decision to remain with the club during the international break may be linked to upcoming contract renewal discussions. Salah, who has continued to impress this season, is reportedly seeking a new two-year extension, which would keep him at Anfield until his 35th birthday.

“I’ve been told that Mohamed Salah staying at Liverpool during the international break will be very important for the club to begin serious contract renewal negotiations,” Mahmoud shared, adding that Liverpool is aware of Salah’s request for the extended deal.

While it’s unclear if the club’s ownership, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), is ready to commit to a contract of this length, Salah’s exceptional performances this season have made a strong case. The Egyptian star recently surpassed Arsenal legend Thierry Henry in assists in both the Premier League (75 assists) and Champions League (17 assists). Currently, Salah leads the league with 14 goal contributions, cementing his place as one of the most productive players this season.

If Liverpool agrees to the two-year extension, fans could look forward to more of Salah’s brilliance as he continues to reach new heights.
