Van Dijk, Henderson and Liverpool stars react to Mohamed Salah announcement
Mohamed Salah’s official Liverpool contract announcement earned plenty of reactions from his teammates.
Salah has once again been in outstanding form this season, driving Liverpool towards a potential Premier League title under new manager Arne Slot.
Despite his performances, there had been growing concern throughout the campaign as he entered the final months of his deal.
That uncertainty wasn’t exclusive to Salah, with fellow key figures Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold also seeing their contracts run down.
While Alexander-Arnold is edging closer to a free transfer to Real Madrid, Liverpool appear to have taken decisive action to ensure their talisman won’t be heading for the exit.

Mohamed Salah signs new two-year deal with Liverpool amid title charge
Liverpool confirmed on social media that Salah has officially signed a new contract, keeping him at the club until 2027.
Salah joined in to celebrate the announcement with a series of photos from the official photoshoot, which drew plenty of reactions across social media.
Teammates including Van Dijk, Darwin Nunez and Andy Robertson all left likes on the post, while former captain Jordan Henderson added a playful comment: “Never in doubt.”
Football Insider revealed Liverpool and Salah reached a breakthrough in contract talks on 4 April, and the deal has now officially been completed—to the delight of the club’s supporters.
The Egyptian has been instrumental in Liverpool’s title push this season, registering a remarkable 32 goals and 22 assists across all competitions.
He currently leads the Premier League golden boot race with 27 goals and is just three assists shy of matching the league’s record at 20, jointly held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
Virgil van Dijk next in line for new deal as Liverpool secure their core
With Salah’s deal now signed, attention has turned to Van Dijk, who is close to agreeing a contract extension at Liverpool of his own.
Van Dijk had attracted interest from the likes of Bayern Munich and PSG as his current deal approached its final months. But it now looks as though the long-running negotiation saga involving Liverpool’s core trio is finally nearing resolution.
While Alexander-Arnold still appears likely to leave on a free, Slot will be reassured by the continuity of two of the club’s most experienced leaders.
As Liverpool edge closer to another league title, this period of contract stability arrives at a crucial moment in what could mark the beginning of a new and successful era.
