For years, Mohamed Salah has been Liverpool’s talisman — the player who delivers week in and week out, who scores the goals when it matters most, and whose presence alone lifts the collective belief of the red half of Merseyside.
Now, with a fresh contract extension signed and sealed, the Egyptian star has been rewarded with figures that match his legacy and his ambition.
Behind the headlines is a story written in numbers: the salary, the years, the goals, and the value of keeping one of the world’s most elite players in red.
€450,000 per Week: The Highest-Paid Player in Liverpool History
The standout figure in Salah’s new contract is his weekly wage. According to Egyptian journalist Ismael Mahmoud, the 32-year-old forward will now earn €450,000 per week, up from €400,000 a 12.5% increase that reflects not just his on-field impact but his off-field stature as the face of Liverpool’s modern success.
There definitely won’t be any pay cut, as @_pauljoyce mentioned. I’ve heard that Salah’s potential salary in the new contract would be a fixed £400,000 per week. https://t.co/jxOtBACDtG

That translates to around €23.4 million annually, a figure that keeps him among the top earners in Europe, even if it doesn’t quite match the astronomical sums offered by Saudi Arabian clubs in recent transfer windows.
Previous annual salary: €20.8 million
New estimated annual salary: €23.4 million
Total increase: €2.6 million per year
For Liverpool, the message is clear: Salah is worth every cent.
2 More Years, 10 Total
The new contract keeps Salah at Anfield until June 2027, adding two more years to a Liverpool career that began in 2017. By the end of the deal, he’ll have spent a full decade at the club — a rare feat in the modern game and one that speaks to his consistency and the club’s enduring trust in him.
Contract duration: 2-year extension
New expiry date: Summer 2027
Age at contract signing: 32
Age at contract end: 34–35

At a time when players often look for final paydays or softer challenges in their 30s, Salah’s decision to stay shows he still believes in Liverpool — and in himself.
32 Goals, 22 Assists, 45 Games — And Still Going
While his wages are headline-grabbing, Salah’s performance on the pitch remains his strongest argument.
As of April 2025, Salah has recorded 32 goals and 22 assists in 45 appearances this season across all competitions numbers that would be career-best for most players, but have become almost routine for the Egyptian.
2024/25 stats (so far):

Even at 32, he’s showing no signs of decline. In fact, his contributions are becoming more complete, blending clinical finishing with elite playmaking.
€55 Million: still a market force
According to Transfermarkt, Salah’s current market value is €55 million. In an era where values tend to drop quickly after players hit 30, the figure is a testament to how well Salah has maintained his physical condition, tactical intelligence, and overall relevance.

He’s not just a club icon — he remains a global football asset.
More Than Just Numbers
When Salah sat down with Liverpool’s media team following the announcement, he didn’t mention money. He spoke about ambition, about a connection with the fans, and about unfinished business.
“I signed because I think we have a chance to win more trophies,” he said. “I’ve had the best years of my career here. I want to keep pushing, keep helping, and keep enjoying my football.”
In a sport increasingly defined by contracts and transfer fees, Salah’s story reminds us that the numbers only tell part of it. But in his case they’re impressive enough on their own.
