Mo Salah has signed a new contract with Liverpool, the club have confirmed this afternoon.
Salah had a year remaining on his deal at Anfield and there was concern that he would follow Sadio Mane in leaving the club - either for a dirt-cheap fee this summer or for absolutely nothing next summer.
But after teasing from both Salah's agent and Liverpool, the six-time European champions have confirmed Salah has signed a new long-term deal.

Since joining from Roma in an initial £36.5 million deal in 2017, the Egyptian star has hit a staggering tally of 156 goals in 254 appearances.
He's lifted every trophy available to him, including the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
Reflecting on his extension, Salah told the official Liverpool website: “I feel great and [I am] excited to win trophies with the club. It’s a happy day for everyone.
“It takes a little bit of time, I think, to renew, but now everything is done so we just need to focus on what’s next.
“I think you can see in the last five or six years the team was always going [upwards]. Last season we were close to winning four, but unfortunately in the last week of the season we lost two trophies.
“I think we are in a good position to fight for everything. We have new signings as well. We just need to keep working hard, have a good vision, be positive and go for everything again.”
It's believed to be a three-year deal for the 30-year-old, with wages of £350,000-a-week to make him Liverpool's top earner by some distance.
Salah has broke countless records at Liverpool and collected a slew of individual awards, namely three Golden Boots and two PFA Players' Player of the Year awards.
Liverpool have brought in three new players so far this summer, the most expensive being the £85 million capture of Darwin Nunez from Benfica.
But undoubtedly their best bit of business is tying down their talisman until 2025.
