The news of Mohamed Salah's renewal came from an unexpected person's mouth.

England's team talk on the 18th (Korea time) 'Sala seems to have confirmed a contract with Liverpool. It was mentioned by English Premier League Legends.

Salah, the best winger in the English Premier League (EPL), has swept various records since joining Liverpool and is moving forward as one of Liverpool's best players. He joined Liverpool in the summer of 2017 and achieved a leap forward in his career. Salah was not initially expected, but he has grown into one of the best wingers in the EPL, exploding 10 goals in the European Champions League with 32 goals and 11 assists in the 2017-2018 season, his first season.




Salah's growth continued after that. Salah, who played 370 games in Liverpool, scored 226 goals and 99 assists, and scored 170 goals and 77 assists in 267 games in the EPL, won three EPL Golden Boots (2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2021-2022) and was selected as the EPL Player of the Year in the 2017-2018 season. He has already made a name for Liverpool history as the third-highest scorer in Liverpool's career.

Salah, who overpowered Tottenham Hotspur in the 2018-2019 season, led Liverpool to its sixth European Champions League championship, and also led Liverpool to its first-ever EPL victory next season, has set such enormous records that he is considered one of Liverpool's best strikers. In the previous season, Salah also defended Liverpool's offense with 25 goals and 13 assists in 44 official matches.

Salah's recent renewal is a hot topic. Salah and Liverpool, whose contracts expire in the summer of 2025, are negotiating a contract extension, and Salah has expressed her intention to stay through consistent interviews. Some leading media outlets have even reported that Salah and Liverpool have entered negotiations, and no official contract has been announced yet.

However, news of Salah's renewal emerged from an unexpected mouth. It is EPL legend Sergio Aguero. TeamTalk reported 'Aguero recently revealed that Salah had actually agreed a contract with Liverpool'




Aguero said in an interview that `I've been looking at this a little bit over the last couple of hours,' `as far as I'm concerned Salah has extended his contract with Liverpool for two more seasons. I think this will probably resolve doubts about his future. He is a key player, and it is the best news for Liverpool."Salah said he signed a contract.

If Aguero's claim is true, Salah is expected to remain in Liverpool until at least the summer of 2027. David Onstein, who is already a reporter for the global sports media The Athletic and boasts the highest public confidence, also said of Salah's situation, `There is a growing belief that Salah will stay.' Aguero's remarks further increased the belief that Salah and Liverpool have renewed their contracts. According to British media, Liverpool's proposed conditions offered a two-year extension while maintaining the highest weekly salary in the team currently being received. Salah's weekly salary is around 400,000 pounds (about 720 million won), the highest in the EPL.

Meanwhile, Liverpool has two key players left to sign a renewal contract besides Salah. Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold have also entered negotiations to renew their contracts, but there has been no news that they are close to an agreement.
