A new long-term contract extension has been signed by Mohamed Salah to end months of speculation about his future.

The club announced on Friday that they had reached an agreement with the player over an extension that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2025.

The statement was published on the official website of the club. It takes a bit of time, but now everything is done, we just need to focus on what's next.

In five years on the club, the Egyptian has scored 156 goals in 257 appearances and has been a key part of multiple successes, including a domestic cup double and a European crown.
