Mohamed Salah’s Premier League dream is the force behind his decision to sign a new two-year contract with Liverpool, the club confirmed on Friday. The Egyptian forward, 32, said he wakes up every day motivated by one goal — winning the English top-flight title again, this time in front of a packed Anfield crowd.

His latest extension keeps him at the club until the summer of 2027, quelling months of speculation that swirled around his future. Yet even amid the contract uncertainty, Salah never lost focus on the pitch. His season has been one of his finest yet, scoring 27 goals and supplying 17 assists in just 31 league appearances. His blistering form has helped Arne Slot’s side surge to the top of the Premier League table, holding an 11-point lead with just seven games remaining.

Unfinished business in the Premier League

While Salah was part of the Liverpool squad that famously ended a 30-year title drought in the 2019/20 season, he feels that triumph remains incomplete. The COVID-19 pandemic robbed fans of the full experience. There was no parade, no supporters at Anfield when the trophy was lifted — only empty stands and virtual applause.

“I think I said in the beginning of the season, I just want to win the Premier League more than anything else. I want it so bad,” Salah told Liverpool’s official website after putting pen to paper. “I think we owe that to the fans. They deserve it. They deserve to enjoy it after that long time, with celebrating at Anfield and in the street and just enjoying ourselves winning the Premier League.”

His words reflect a personal mission — to win the league not just for the team, but for the supporters who fill Anfield with passion week after week. It's this desire that continues to drive him, even as he enters the latter stages of his career.

A legendary legacy that’s still growing

With 184 Premier League goals to his name, Salah is now the joint-fifth top scorer in league history. He has also climbed into the top 10 assist providers. These numbers speak volumes about his consistency and impact since joining Liverpool from AS Roma in 2017 for a reported £34 million.

Back then, Salah was viewed as a fast winger with untapped potential. But under Jürgen Klopp — and now Slot — he transformed into one of the most feared attackers in world football. Season after season, he has delivered at the highest level, and his influence at Anfield is now etched in club history.

His new deal all but ensures that his name will continue to dominate Liverpool folklore. More than just a prolific forward, Salah has become a symbol of determination, professionalism, and unrelenting ambition.

Salah’s hunger shows no signs of slowing

What makes Salah’s story even more impressive is his refusal to settle. Despite having already achieved so much, he sees each new season as another chance to improve — another step closer to greatness.

In his interview, Salah emphasized how much the fans’ experience means to him. “When we won it before, nobody was in the stadium. That’s something I still think about. It was special, but also a little sad. This time, if we do it, I want to look around and see the faces, hear the songs, and feel the moment with everyone.”

That mindset echoes why Liverpool were so eager to keep him. His work ethic is legendary. Teammates and coaches alike speak of his relentless training, his attention to detail, and his obsession with staying at the top of his game.

Arne Slot's trust in Salah’s leadership

Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, has reportedly been impressed with Salah’s professionalism and leadership, especially in high-pressure moments this season. With a relatively young squad, Salah’s presence has been a stabilizing force. He’s not just scoring goals — he’s guiding the team through a title race that demands mental toughness and consistency.

Slot sees Salah as an integral figure in his long-term vision. The new contract is as much about what Salah can do now as it is about what he offers off the pitch — a leader in the dressing room, an inspiration to rising stars, and a model of elite performance.

Chasing history and lifting spirits

If Liverpool do go on to win the title this season, Salah's name will once again be synonymous with a historic triumph. But more importantly, he’ll have delivered what he promised — a celebration worthy of the fans who have supported him unconditionally.

The streets of Liverpool, this time, would be ready. And for Salah, that would be more meaningful than any individual award or goal tally.

Even now, as rumors swirl about lucrative offers from abroad, particularly in the Saudi Pro League, Salah remains focused on his Anfield mission. “I’m staying because I believe we can win more. I’m staying because I still feel there’s more to do here,” he said.

Salah’s dream is Liverpool’s dream

Mohamed Salah’s Premier League dream is more than just personal ambition — it reflects the hopes of millions of Liverpool supporters worldwide. By extending his stay at the club, Salah has made it clear that he’s not done writing his story. There’s still one more parade he wants to see. One more trophy he wants to lift. One more roar from the Kop he wants to hear.

And if his performances this season are anything to go by, there’s every reason to believe he’ll get exactly that.
