Prolonged Saga regarding The future of Liverpool's superstar, Mohamed Salah, finally endedafter the 32 -year -old player signed a new agreement with the club, valid until the summer of 2027. However, the BBC confirms that the Egyptian international was courted by a Saudi club and explains why he finally chose Anfield.
The Arab offer for Salah amounts to a total of 500 million pounds, if the salaries were gathered. By comparison, his new contract with Liverpool will continue to bring “only” about 20 million pounds per season.

So, if he had been interested in money first, he would probably have chosen Saudi Arabia. However, Salah longs for an even greater football glory, this being an important factor in his decision.
The experienced footballer wants to win the Golden Ball, his best ranking being fifth in 2019 and 2022. He also has ambitions at both club and national level. Although he has already triumphed in the Champions League, Salah hopes to win the trophy at least once. In addition, the Egyptian believes that staying in the Premier League will help him prepare better for the next tournaments that his national team will participate.
Thus, the favorite of the fans on Merseyside has chosen to continue to wear the red shirt, although the Saudi Arabia offer was probably not withdrawn and it is possible that, in the future, Salah will still play in the championship that has recently drawn attention.

I played here for 8 years, to hope that I get to 10. I am happy about my life here, I enjoy football. Here I had the best years of my career.
