Egypt and Liverpool football maestro Mohamed Salah has ended speculation about his Liverpool future by putting ink on paper after signing a new three-year contract. His previous contract was due to expire next summer. His new terms, in excess of 350,000 pounds a week, makes him the highest-paid player in the club's history.

The deal still fits into the club's sustainable wage structure and is incentivized with scoring bonuses.

"I feel great and [I am] excited to win trophies with the club. It's a happy day for everyone," Salah said.

"I think you can see in the last five or six years the team was always going [upwards]. Last season we were close to winning four, but unfortunately in the last week of the season we lost two trophies.

"I think we are in a good position to fight for everything. We have new signings as well. We just need to keep working hard, have a good vision, be positive and go for everything again."

Salah joined Liverpool from AS Roma in June 2017 with the Egyptian making an instant impact, scoring 44 goals across all competitions in his debut campaign.

After the sale of Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich earlier this summer, it was important for Jurgen Klopp to see Salah commit his future to the club.

The 30-year-old was named the FWA Footballer of the Year and the PFA Players' Player of the Year for 2021/22 after helping to secure an FA Cup and League Cup double.

Salah is keen on winning more silverware at Liverpool, adding"My message [to the fans] is the players in the team want to give our best next season to try to win all the trophies.
