“The Turning Point” – Romano Unveils the Real Reason Behind Salah’s Liverpool Stay

“The Game-Changer” – Romano Reveals Why Salah Stayed at Liverpool

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has signed a fresh two-year contract, extending his successful tenure at Anfield until 2027—putting an end to months of uncertainty surrounding his future.

With Salah’s situation now settled, the Premier League leaders are turning their attention to securing a new deal for club captain Virgil van Dijk. Like Salah, the Dutch defender is out of contract at the end of the season, but both parties are optimistic about reaching an agreement.

Another important figure nearing the end of his contract is right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold. However, unlike Salah and Van Dijk, he’s expected to depart, with Real Madrid emerging as his likely next destination.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has disclosed that Liverpool’s incoming manager, Arne Slot, was instrumental in Salah’s choice to remain at the club.

Speaking to The Daily Briefing, Romano said:

Mo Salah clearly communicated to the club his sincere desire to stay at Liverpool. However, a few months ago—around October to December—there was strong and serious interest from Saudi clubs, with offers involving massive financial packages, close to those made for players like Vinícius Júnior.

“Despite the tempting money, Salah’s love for Liverpool and his belief that he can still have a big impact in the Premier League were decisive. He’s also very enthusiastic about working under Arne Slot and believes in the club’s long-term vision. While financial terms are always a factor in football, what truly made the difference this time was the arrival of coach Arne Slot.”

Arne Slot Ignites a Bold New Chapter at Liverpool

In his debut season at the helm, Arne Slot has already earned legendary status among Liverpool fans, with the Premier League title now firmly within reach. He’s also played a key role in convincing Mohamed Salah to remain at the club.

Bringing in the Dutch manager has turned out to be a brilliant move by the Reds.

Looking ahead, Liverpool are aiming to bolster their squad further in the upcoming transfer window, with Inter Milan midfielder Nicolò Barella emerging as a top target.
