Salah signs long-term Liverpool contract

Mohamed Salah has signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool, the Premier League club have confirmed.

After a stunning debut season that saw him score 44 goals in all competitions before winning the PFA Player of the Year award, Salah has been duly rewarded. 

Salah is contracted to stay on Merseyside until 2023, a five year deal, and perhaps most important for Liverpool - there is no release clause. 

"I think this news can be seen for what it is; rewarding a person who performed and contributed greatly for the team and the club last season," said Jurgen Klopp. 

"It demonstrates two things very clearly also - his belief in Liverpool and our belief in him.

"We want world-class talent to see they have a home at Anfield where they can fulfil all their professional dreams and ambitions - we are working hard together to achieve this.

"When someone like Mo Salah commits and says this place is my home now, it speaks very loudly I think."

It is a move that will also put to bed any rumours surrounding the Egyptian. Only last month he was linked with moves to Barcelona and Real Madrid, especially after Antoine Griezmann revealed he would not be moving to the Catalan capital. 

As it is, he can look forward to pre-season with Liverpool, where he will join up with new team mates, Fabinho and Naby Keita.
