Liverpool were right about Salah.

At a crucial point in the season, with Liverpool leading the Premier League title race, the news that Mohamed Salah had officially extended his contract brought a positive boost to the entire team.

This is a landmark decision, not only for Salah personally but also for the Reds' ambitions in the coming years.

The contract is reasonable in every respect.

Since last September, Liverpool fans have been living in suspense as the futures of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have become a hot topic. Rumors, interviews, and expert analysis have constantly focused on Anfield.

However, for those who follow the team closely, Salah's decision to stay is not surprising. In fact, it is the most logical choice in every respect.

Liverpool possesses one of the strongest teams in Europe. Salah, at 32, still maintains an incredible goal-scoring record. He has no reason to leave the team that helped him rise to world-class superstar status. At Anfield, Salah has the opportunity to break records, conquer major titles, and continue to be loved as a living legend.

Liverpool understand Salah's value. In the current transfer market, finding a player with his speed, technique, finishing ability, and leadership qualities is almost impossible. Keeping Salah is a statement of the club's ambition to continue dominating English and European football.

Salah's future has now been decided.

Instead of rushing into a decision, Liverpool demonstrated professionalism and composure. They didn't succumb to media pressure or waver in the face of public concerns. Even though Salah is over 30, any contract extension is being carefully considered to ensure a balance between financial and professional considerations.

Many criticized Sporting Director Richard Hughes for the lengthy negotiation process. However, looking back at the whole process, it can be said that Liverpool played a very clever game. They resolved all issues at the right time, protected the club's interests, and maintained the satisfaction of their key players.

It's important to remember that when Hughes took over from Michael Edwards, he faced immense challenges. Jurgen Klopp had left, three key players were nearing the end of their contracts, and the pressure to perform was immense. In that context, retaining Salah, and almost certainly Van Dijk, was a significant achievement.

Liverpool's turning point

New manager Arne Slot is probably the happiest man right now. Before he could even settle into his role as Klopp's successor, he faced a series of questions about the future of key players. However, Slot always maintained a calm, patient, and understanding attitude. Now, with Salah's contract extension, things are clearer, allowing him to focus on the job.

Although Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure from the club remains a possibility, that's another story – linked to his dream of playing for Real Madrid. In that case, Liverpool would have time to prepare and restructure their squad appropriately.

Salah is a Liverpool legend.

Salah's continued commitment to Anfield is not only significant from a professional standpoint, but also provides a morale boost for the entire team during this crucial stage of the season. It confirms that Liverpool are on their way back to the top and that the big names still believe in that journey.

Since arriving at Anfield, Mohamed Salah has consistently held a paramount position in Liverpool's tactical system. He has scored over 200 goals, breaking one record after another and always featuring in big matches. But Salah is more than just a "goal-scoring machine." He is an inspiration, a role model of professionalism, and an example of perseverance.

The new contract serves as a commitment that the journey is not over yet. Fans have the right to dream of more glorious nights in the Champions League, more breathtaking races in the Premier League – where Salah continues to dominate with his coolness and class.

Throughout the negotiations, Salah rarely spoke to the media. His silence sometimes worried fans. But now, after signing a new contract, perhaps it's time for him to be more open and share more about his next steps with Liverpool.

Because, for those who have loved Salah's bursts of speed, his powerful shots, and his simple smile over the years, they don't want their conversations with him to be limited to just a few lines after each contract renewal.

Mohamed Salah's new contract is more than just a financial deal. It's the continuation of a glorious chapter in history, a testament to the enduring bond between a living legend and a great club. And in this moment of triumph at Anfield, Salah – as always – remains the brightest beacon leading the way.
