Liverpool supporters are ecstatic after receiving a significant update from transfer source Fabrizio Romano: Mohamed Salah will remain.
Many were worried that the Egyptian superstar may leave Anfield and join Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is getting close to a free move to Real Madrid, as his current deal expires at the end of the current campaign and there has been no progress in negotiations. Similar contractual limbo also befell Virgil van Dijk.
However, things have changed.
Romano posted a five-word teaser on Facebook: **” LIVERPOOL AND SALAH. ALONE YET AGAIN. **
This followed the announcement by reputable Liverpool journalist Paul Joyce that talks with Salah had made substantial progress and that a new contract was almost ready to be signed. Later, Romano revealed that negotiations are now nearing completion and that Salah is close to signing a new **two-year contract**.
Romano added in his follow-up articles that Liverpool is **equally confident about renewing Van Dijk’s contract**, as the Dutch defender has recently indicated that negotiations are going well.
The club is having a bittersweet window as Trent Alexander-Arnold looks to be leaving for Real Madrid, while Salah and Van Dijk appear to be staying.
**The legacy of Salah at Liverpool**
Salah has produced incredible stats since arriving: **243 goals and 110 assists in 394 appearances**. With **27 goals** and **17 assists in 31 games** this season alone, he has been instrumental in Liverpool’s run for the championship.
Although it would have been devastating to let him go for free, Liverpool fans are greatly relieved and encouraged by this development. Now, every indication is that **Mo Salah staying at Anfield** will continue to guide the Reds for many seasons to come.
