He has just completed a stellar season with Liverpool. It saw him sweep major individual awards and commit to a new two-year deal. Before signing the new deal, he was widely linked with a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Rumours along with several reports were doing the rounds that a deal worth over &pound;500 million was on the table. However, Salah chose to remain at Anfield. As per his new deal, he extended his stay with the Reds until 2027 after a record-breaking campaign under new manager Arne Slot.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mo Salah:<br><br>&ldquo;I can play until I&rsquo;m 39\/40.

If you ask me for my opinion, I think I can play until the age of 39 or 40, but if I felt before that I wanted to stop, I would quit. I have achieved a lot of things.&rdquo;<\/p><p>Salah&rsquo;s comments come after a successful season in which he scored 29 goals and provided 18 assists.

They were hoping to set up a high-profile rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League. However, Liverpool were unwilling to part ways with their talisman. Especially after his record-breaking achievements and contribution to their Premier League title winning season.<\/p><p>Salah has now scored 186 Premier League goals for Liverpool and Chelsea combined. He is only one goal behind Andrew Cole on the all-time list. As he is set to turn 33 in June, his focus remains on Anfield. However, it is clear that a future move to the Middle East certainly remains a possibility.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a Record-Breaking Season, Mohamed Salah Says He Still Has Years Left in the Tank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[5618],"tags":[7277,1181,4421,1182,7276],"class_list":["post-58354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-premier-league","tag-al-ittihad","tag-liverpool","tag-mohamed-salah","tag-premier-league","tag-saudi-pro-league"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Mohamed Salah Eyes Longevity;
