Arne Slot spoke for the first time since Mohamed Salah signed a new two -year contract in Liverpool.
Salah, 32, is one of the biggest players of all Liverpool times, the Egyptian having scored 243 remarkable goals in 394 games for the club since he joined Roma in 2017 for initial costs of 36.5 million pounds sterling.
The striker won eight trophies in Anfield and remains full of Arne Slot’s team while they are getting closer to the title of Premier League.
Salah’s previous contract was to expire in summer and speculations on his future were a major discussion subject throughout the campaign, the attacker regularly providing cryptic responses when he was questioned about his future.
However, Friday, the club confirmed that it had put the pen on paper on a new agreement until 2027 worth £ 350,000 per week, ending the dramatic saga.
Liverpool has broken the club’s policy by offering it a new agreement, because Fenway Sports Group is generally reluctant to distribute new contracts to players over 30.

“It’s great, I spent my best years here. I played eight years, I hope it is going to be 10 years old. I appreciate my life here and I appreciate my football.
“My family also feels at home. We appreciate every moment of the city and at every moment of the club.
“It’s a special moment always when we play Anfield. There is no place like that. The heat you feel inside, the song before the game.
“Everything about this, at all times you get a goal and they sing my song is something special.”

“Continue to support us and we will do our best, and I hope that in the future, we will win more trophies.”
