Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has extended his stay with the Anfield club.

Mohamed Salah, who finished last season as the Reds' top scorer last season, was previously on a deal running until 2023. The new deal will keep him at Liverpool until 2025, with the deal making him the highest-paid player in the club's history with wages in excess of £350,000 per week.

The former Chelsea and AS Roma forward has been a key man for Liverpool since joining from the Italian club in 2017, helping Jurgen Klopp's side win the Premier League and Champions League among other trophies. The news comes not long after Liverpool lost another of their title-winning forwards, with Sadio Mane moving to Bayern Munich.

"I feel great and excited to win trophies with the club," Salah told liverpoolfc.com. "It's a happy day for everyone.

"It takes a little bit of time, I think, to renew, but now everything is done so we just need to focus on what's next. I think you can see in the last five or six years the team was always going .

"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."

Liverpool have already added to their squad this summer, with Darwin Nunez joining from Benfica. The Uruguayan frontman has joined in a deal which could make him the club's record signing if all clauses are met.

The Reds have also completed a deal to bring Fabio Carvalho to Anfield from Fulham, while Luis Diaz is preparing for a first full season with the club after arriving in January.

"My message is the players in the team want to give our best next season to try to win all the trophies," Salah continued.. "As usual, you stay behind us and give us a big push and I am sure we are going to win trophies again ."
