Egyptian international Mohamed Salah’s stunning first season with English Premier League side Liverpool earned him a long-term contract with the club on Monday, AFP reports.
“Liverpool Football Club can confirm Mohamed Salah has signed a new long-term contract with the club,” read the club statement.
“The Egypt forward has committed his future to the Reds by putting pen to paper on the deal, a little over one year after originally arriving at Anfield from AS Roma,” it said.
Salah, who had initially joined the Reds from As Rome in a deal worth around £100,000-per-week 12 months ago, will now be one of Liverpool’s highest earners, with his income doubling.
