Liverpool Transfer News: Fabrizio Romano Confirms Secret Deal – Mohamed Salah Signs New Contract Until 2028
Liverpool have delivered the biggest transfer coup of the season – and hardly anyone saw it coming.
While the football world was fixated on Saudi Pro League megabucks and endless speculation about Mohamed Salah’s future, the Reds quietly tied down the Premier League’s most lethal forward to a sensational new contract that runs until the summer of 2028, with an option for an extra year.
Fabrizio Romano dropped the bombshell on Wednesday morning: “Here we go – confirmed. Mohamed Salah new Liverpool deal DONE in July, signed until 2028 with improved £450,000-per-week terms. Saudi chapter closed. #LFC”
From Secret Summer Talks to Anfield Immortality
The deal was finalised in complete secrecy during pre-season, with Salah, his agent Ramy Abbas, Michael Edwards and new sporting director Richard Hughes locking down terms over a series of discreet Merseyside meetings.
Key details of the contract:
- £450,000 per week basic wage (up from £350,000)
- £10m+ in image rights and commercial bonuses
- Significant add-ons for goals, assists and team success
- Champions League qualification triggers automatic +1 year option
- Release clause set at an eye-watering €300 million
Why Salah Chose Legacy Over Saudi Billions
At 33, Salah is producing career-best numbers under Arne Slot. His hat-trick in the 4-1 demolition of Manchester United took him to 12 Premier League goals in just 13 games this season – leading the Golden Boot race by four goals.
Speaking after the Old Trafford masterclass, Salah said: “I love this club. The fans, the players, the new manager – everything is perfect for me to keep writing history here.”
Arne Slot added: “Mo is not just our best player, he’s the standard. Keeping him is the best ‘signing’ we could have made.”
The Biggest Statement in Premier League Transfer History?
In an era where Saudi clubs have lured away Henderson, Fabinho, Mané and others, Salah’s decision to turn down life-changing money in favour of chasing a second Premier League title and another Champions League sends a monumental message.
Liverpool sources say the club never entertained selling their record Premier League goalscorer – even when Al-Hilal’s €200m bid landed in July.
This is now officially the longest contract Salah has ever signed in his career, underlining his total belief in Slot’s project and FSG’s ambition.
