Mohamed Salah has extended his stay at Liverpool until 2027, but as the Egyptian winger revealed to Sky Sports, he didn’t expect it to happen.
The 32-year-old admitted he was ready for a departure at the end of the season, with PSG and Saudi clubs showing interest. “At the start of the season, I’d say I had a 10% chance of staying, considering the club’s history,” Salah explained.
“It’s not a criticism. I just looked at how they’ve handled players over 30 in the past.”
“I Think the Club Was Testing Me”
Salah believes Liverpool wanted to assess his level before offering a new deal: “It took six months before the negotiations really started to move. From January, things improved. I think the club was testing me, to see if I could still perform.”
The Egyptian didn’t ask for a long-term extension either: “I just asked for two years, nothing more.”
And Perform He Did
With 28 Premier League goals this season, Salah passed the test with flying colors—convincing the club to break tradition and renew one of its legends.
