Salah Expresses His Joy and Ambitions
Speaking after the announcement, Salah shared his happiness and long-term vision with Liverpool.
“It’s great, I had my best years here. I played eight years, hopefully it’s going to be 10. Enjoying my life here, enjoying my football. I had the best years in my career,” he said.
“I would like to say to the fans, I am very, very happy to be here. I signed here because I believe we can win a lot of big trophies together. Keep supporting us and we’ll give it our best, and hopefully in the future we’re going to win more trophies.”
Liverpool’s Third All-Time Leading Scorer
Since joining from AS Roma in 2017 for £43.9 million, Salah has become Liverpool’s third all-time top goalscorer, trailing only Ian Rush and Roger Hunt. With consistent form and fitness, he has a strong chance of overtaking Hunt to claim second place in the all-time rankings.
Climbing the Assist Charts
Salah also ranks sixth in Liverpool’s all-time assist leaderboard. If he maintains his creative form, he could climb as high as second, with only Kenny Dalglish likely to remain ahead of him.
Salah Still at the Peak of His Powers
At 32, Salah continues to be a crucial player under new manager Arne Slot. Despite only spending one season under Slot so far, Salah already boasts the second-most goal contributions (goals + assists) of any player Slot has coached, behind only Santiago Gimenez from Slot’s Feyenoord days.
A Decorated Liverpool Career
During his tenure at Liverpool, Salah has lifted seven major trophies:
- Premier League
- UEFA Champions League
- FIFA Club World Cup
- UEFA Super Cup
- FA Cup
- Two EFL League Cups
He’s also won numerous individual honours, including:
- 3× Premier League Golden Boot
- 2× PFA Players’ Player of the Year
- 2× FWA Footballer of the Year
Looking Ahead to More Glory
With his future now settled, Salah’s focus remains on helping Liverpool add to their trophy cabinet and further cementing his legacy as one of the club’s greatest-ever players.
