The words ‘no release clause’ in Mohamed Salah’s new deal will be music to the ears of Liverpool fans.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has signed a new five-year contract with the Merseyside club.

The Egyptian attacker, who scored 44 goals in his debut season at the club, joins Roberto Firmino in committing his long-term future to the club after a season in which he helped the Reds to the Champions League final against Real Madrid.

While that game ended in bitter disappointment for the 26-year-old, who was forced off with a shoulder injury after half an hour following a heavy challenge Sergio Ramos, news that one of the greatest signings in the club’s history will be music to the ears of Liverpool fans.

Better again, James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo reports that there is no release clause in the former Chelsea player’s new deal.

Salah recently returned from a disappointing World Cup campaign with this country. While he scored twice in Russia, Egypt were eliminated after suffering three consecutive defeats.

“It demonstrates two things very clearly – his belief in Liverpool and our belief in him,” said Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp.
