Liverpool have agreed a new contract that contains shock details, claims a stunning report

A sensational report has claimed Liverpool and Mohamed Salah have ‘reached an agreement’ over a new contract and the length of the deal could come as a surprise.

Extending the glittering stays of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah is a pressing matter for Liverpool.

The trio are among the best players in the world in their positions, and despite Van Dijk and Salah being well into their thirties, they show no signs of slowing down. All three players’ current deals expire in six months.

Salah is blowing away the rest of the Premier League this season with 26 assists in just 16 games. Second on the list is Cole Palmer all the way back at 17 (before Boxing Day).

Salah has made no secret of his desire to continue at Anfield and according to a bombshell report from Fichajesan agreement has been concluded.

They claimed: ‘Mohamed Salah will continue to write his history at Liverpool. After months of speculation and rumors about his future, the Egyptian star has agreed to renew his contract with the English team.’

Fichajes then made the bold claim that Salah’s alleged deal will tie his future to Liverpool until 2028. In other words, a three-year deal has reportedly been scrapped.

It would come as a major shock given Liverpool’s reluctance to hand players over 30 two-year deals, never mind a three-year extension.

Nevertheless, the business is adamant Salah’s camp and Liverpool have given their hand to such a deal.

Salah accepts new Liverpool contract?

The publication delivering this news is not known to be among the more reliable outlets when it comes to contract and transfer news.

As such, Liverpool fans might be wise to wait for official confirmation from the club – or for updates from more reputable outlets and journalists – before popping the champagne.

TEAMtalk was reliably informed by reporter Ben Jacobs earlier this month that Salah and his representatives wanted a two-year deal that includes an option for a third season.

Jacobs also explained that Liverpool wanted a ‘flexible salary’ in any such deal, effectively meaning Salah’s wages could drop as he gets older and potentially starts to decline.

Of course, a shorter one- or two-year contract would mitigate the need for such an unusual clause.
