Two stories defined Liverpool‘s season, and both stories happened at the same time: the (un)expected title bid, which ended successfully and the contract extensions, which were almost perfect. Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold were the main actors in 2025 as all three players were near the end of their current deals. In the end, Liverpool board managed to sign two of them, and for the fans, the most important one was Mohamed Salah. The club‘s best player for some years now has signed a new two-year deal in April, ending his flirt with Saudi Arabian league. It all started in 2023, when Al Ittihad made a 150 million pounds bid in August, which was swiftly rejected by Liverpool. Salah scored 34 goals and provided 23 assists across all competitions this season, including 29 goals in the Premier League.Who else if not him?
