Great news, he’s got at least 1 more season at the highest level. If not 2.

VVD will hopefully be next.

There wasn't really a choice if they could renew as the owners would never pay what replacement would cost.
Length is everything as 3 years is too long but 2 years is fine. Once his body start showing signs it will get ugly fast.

He could stay at Liverpool and still go to Saudi for big money in a couple of years. What it brings is a little stability so for that we should be happy.

Good news. It wasn't the right time to let him go, we simply don't have a replacement in line and also have other areas that will need strengthening this summer. I don't think we held him on for too long because without him we might not have been just a few games away from winning the title this season right now. Plus, he got a 2 year contract so we could still probably sell him after next season lol, at least for some 30-40 million.

Anyway, couldn't find any details about the contract apart from that it's gonna be a 2 year extension. Is it just 2 years without a club option for an additional year?  And what sort of money is he gonna be getting?

No official details, but reported he hasn’t taken a pay cut. So at least £350k a week, but probably over £400k for the new deal

Great news, hopefully this will fire him up to finish the season strong now.

Could've gone on free with a nice signing on fee. Fair play to Salah. Just hope we could get atleast one quality attacker to play uptop with him next season.

£20 million a year. I can't get excited about paying him £400,000 a WEEK when that represents 10 YEARS wages for the  majority of folks watching the game.

Nice he signed but the greed is sickening.

Agreed Reg but you yourself said it would simply cost us a lot more to sign someone new. I think he's getting "only" a £5m annual raise, which is far cheaper than signing someone for £60-80m and paying him £10m a season.

As crazy as the money is it is about value, and I don’t mean value on the playing field I mean value to LFC in terms business. He gets people to watch which then translates to advertising revenue, he gets people to come to matches and he gets people to buy shirts and merchandising. It’s all about value and he probably earns that salary by making much more for the club. It’s not about sport, it’s about business.

I own a kids sports club and have done for 25 years. When I first started it was all ManUre shirts I saw, later it was Chelsea shirts, then Man City. I’ve seen so many Liverpool and specifically Salah shirts in the last period (since Klopp) so I see visually the effect that Salah has. I do prefer forward growth for the club though and this is a short term solution, so I do feel we need the future gen striker and having Salah at the club probably will affect that and slow the progress, but in terms of earning his keep I think he does and the club profits from him despite the salary. Someone should do a study to see his money value to the club, it would be interesting to see the amount.
