Jack Grealish and Dominic Solanke joined a host of players in reacting to Mohamed Salah’s latest post following a major update on his Liverpool future.

Salah has been central to Liverpool’s title charge this season, with the Reds currently sitting 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League and edging closer to yet another league triumph.

But while his performances have remained at the highest level, concerns had been growing over his long-term future, as he approached the final months of his current deal at Anfield.

Salah was one of several key players–alongside Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold–with contracts running down, sparking fears of a possible exit.

However, Football Insider revealed on 4 April that Salah and Liverpool had reached a breakthrough in contract talks. And now, the Egyptian has confirmed the positive development in his latest post, a move that’s been met with celebration across the football world.

Mohamed Salah signs new Liverpool contract until 2027

Liverpool confirmed on 11 April that Salah has signed a new contract, extending his stay at Anfield until 2027. The two-year extension means the Egyptian forward could spend a full decade at the club, having first joined in 2017.

Salah marked the occasion with a series of images from the official signing photoshoot, which quickly racked up reactions from teammates and players across the league.

Liverpool players such as Van Dijk reacted to Salah’s announcement but there were also acknowledgements from rivals, with Manchester City’s Jack Grealish and Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke liking the post, along with footballing legends Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer.

The 32-year-old has been influential in Liverpool’s push for the Premier League title this season, boasting an extraordinary 32 goals and 22 assists in all competitions.

The uncertainty surrounding his future had left many fans anxious in recent months, but this new deal brings a major sense of relief, even as other contract sagas remain unresolved.

Trent Alexander-Arnold set for Real Madrid move amid Liverpool shake-up

Despite Salah committing his future, Trent Alexander-Arnold appears to be heading to Real Madrid, with the right-back heavily linked to a Liverpool exit this summer.

Meanwhile, Van Dijk is reportedly close to agreeing a new deal as well, meaning that while Liverpool may be set to lose their homegrown talent, head coach Arne Slot will take encouragement from securing arguably two of the club’s most influential figures.

As the Slot era continues to take shape, Salah’s extension could prove to be a defining moment in his early reign–and a signal of intent as Liverpool aim to remain challenging for titles in coming years.
