Liverpool fans ‘moved to tears’ over Mohamed Salah announcement
Liverpool fans have been left feeling emotional after Mohamed Salah’s latest contract news.
Salah’s future at Anfield has been uncertain throughout the season due to the fact his contract was due to expire at the end of this campaign, but fans have now been handed positive news.
Liverpool confirmed on Friday (11 April) that the Egypt international has put pen to paper on a two-year deal that will keep him at the club until 2027.
It’s a sensational move for the Premier League giants, retaining their current top goalscorer for at least two more seasons moving forward.
This will be a positive move for Arne Slot in particular, as the Liverpool boss now doesn’t have to worry about trying to replace him in the summer months, which would have proven difficult.
Liverpool have had several contract problems this season
Salah isn’t the only significant first-team player whose contract is due to expire in the summer, as Liverpool could be set to lose Virgil Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
While Salah has agreed to a new deal, the same cannot be said for the two defenders as they remain on course to leave Merseyside on a free transfer this summer.
Alexander-Arnold is believed to be joining Real Madrid at the end of this season, making the move to La Liga to continue his career in Spain as he prepares to link up with England teammate Jude Bellingham.

Things are slightly more positive regarding Van Dijk, as the signs are pointing toward the captain following in Salah’s footsteps and remaining with the Premier League giants.
However, until everything is officially confirmed in terms of a new contract, Van Dijk’s future will remain up in the air.
Liverpool fans ‘crying’ over Salah announcement
Even though it’s unclear if Alexander-Arnold and/or Van Dijk will remain, Salah’s news is positive and will give fans plenty to celebrate for the final few weeks of the season.
The winger has been pivotal to Liverpool’s success this season, with Slot featuring him regularly within his starting lineup.
Salah is beloved by Liverpool supporters, and that has been clear given the outpouring of love that they have sent online after the news was confirmed.
