Mohamed Salah’s trophy-laden spell with Liverpool is set to extend to a decade after the prolific Egypt forward signed a new contract with the Premier League leader, ending months of uncertainty over his future.

The 32-year-old Salah was one of three key senior players — with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk — due to be out of contract at the end of this season.

He is the first to extend his stay, having already established himself as a club great with 243 goals in 394 appearances, placing him third in the list of Liverpool’s all-time top scorers.

Liverpool didn’t disclose the length of Salah’s new deal in an announcement on Friday but manager Arne Slot did, saying in a news conference it was a two-year contract.

“Of course I’m very excited,” said Salah, who joined from Roma in 2017 for 42 million euros ($50 million). “We have a great team now. Before also we had a great team. But I signed because I think we have a chance to win other trophies and enjoy my football.
