How Long Will Mo Salah's Extension Last For?
Liverpool FC extending 32-year-old Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk's deals would be a huge boost for them. Their deals were supposed to end at the end of the season. Salah gained a lot of interest from Saudi football clubs, and Al Itihad put forth a massive £150 million bid in August 2023. But it was turned down by the Anfield club. While the duration of Mohamed Salah's extension remains a suspense, The DailyMail claimed that a two-year extension looks to be the ideal option.
"No details are known on Salah’s potential new deal but sources suggest a two-year extension seems most likely," the report mentioned.
An official confirmation from Mohamed Salah and Liverpool FC regarding the extension is awaited.
