Mo Salah on cusp of major Liverpool announcement as U-turn is revealed on agreed Euro transfer

Reports are growing that Liverpool could soon announce the news all their fans have been hoping for with Mo Salah closing in on a blockbuster new deal to stay at Anfield – while it has also emerged that the star has now gone back on an agreement to join one of European football’s super-powers.

The Egyptian forward has catapulted himself into the realms of football superstardom since his move to Anfield in summer 2017, scoring a colossal 227 goals and adding another 101 assists from 372 appearances, giving him a goal contribution every 1.13 times he has taken the field for Liverpool. But with his deal at Anfield expiring at the end of the current campaign, Salah will be eligible to leave Merseyside as a free agent in 2025, while he can sign a pre-contract agreement to join an overseas club of his choosing from January 1 – now an alarming 11 days away.

While talks over a new deal at Anfield have proved long and complicated, it’s been revealed this week that Salah is now closer than ever to extending his stay, having seemingly rejected eight major moves to commit to an extension on Merseyside.

And with owner John Henry’s intervention seen as key, it’s been reported that a new deal for Salah could be announced by Liverpool some time next week – giving Liverpool supporters the world over the perfect Christmas present.

That news will come as a very welcome relief, and more so amid fresh claims in Egypt that Salah has struck an agreement with PSG to make a free transfer in the summer of 2025.

What has Mo Salah said and how long will new Liverpool deal be for?

TEAMtalk has long stated that Salah’s intentions have always been to negotiate an extension at Anfield, though a question of money and the length of the deal, coupled with how a two-year extension could take him to the age of almost 35, making negotiations tricky.

But Salah has shown arguably the best form of his career so far this season, underlining both his fitness to continue at the very top level and the fact that Liverpool simply cannot afford to let him go.

Salah, for his part, has been unusually vocal in going public on his contract negotiations with Liverpool, having made it clear his wish to stay but also having turned up the pressure gauge on FSG by stating he was “more out than in” over those negotiations when questioned about his future towards the end of November
