Egyptian striker Mo Salah on Friday signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool. 

This was announced via a club statement.

“Liverpool FC are delighted to announce Mohamed Salah has signed a new long-term contract with the club,” the statement said.

Salah’s contract renewal put to rest rumours linking him to possible transfer to Spanish side Real Madrid. 

Speaking on his decision to renew contract with the Reds, Salah said “I feel great and excited to win trophies with the club. It’s a happy day for everyone.
