European journalist Sasha Tabolieri reported on the 7th (local time) that Liverpool and Salah have agreed to extend their contracts. The contract period is two years, and Salah accepted a small salary cut.
Salah will spend a full 10 years in Liverpool if he completes the entire period of his renewal.
Salah is also said to have rejected Saudi Arabia's offer of a 10-fold salary for the transfer. Salah's current estimated weekly wage is 350,000 pounds (about 658 million won). Saudi Arabia seems to have offered more than 6 billion won a week. However, Salah chose loyalty over money and Liverpool legend over new challenges.
Salah played in 43 games in Liverpool this season, scoring 32 goals and 22 assists, enjoying his second heyday as if he had forgotten his age.
Liverpool, with Salah's performance at the forefront, is on the verge of winning the English Premier League (EPL) for the first time in five years since the 2019-2020 season. With 22 wins, 7 draws, 2 losses and 73 points in 31 games, the gap with second-place Arsenal (62 points) widened to 11 points with seven games remaining.

Liverpool is on the verge of losing all of its key trio this summer, including Salah, defender Virgil van Dijk and fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold, but two of them are expected to be caught.
VanDijk said after the game against Fulham (2-3 losses) on the 7th that he is making progress in negotiations to renew his contract.
On the other hand, Alexander-Arnold reportedly refused to renew his contract because he wanted a new challenge. It is certain that he will join Real Madrid this summer. A number of Liverpool fans have expressed great disappointment with Arnold.
