Salah Soaks Up the Spotlight – Van Dijk Contract Next in Line

Mohamed Salah was met with thunderous applause both at kickoff and when he left the pitch on Sunday — a show of appreciation from the Anfield faithful that felt especially fitting, given the Egyptian’s sensational season.

Salah continues to prove why he’s worth every penny to Liverpool. His assist for Luis Díaz in the Reds’ win over West Ham brought his Premier League goal contributions this season to a staggering 45 — with 27 goals and 18 assists.

That figure sets a new benchmark for a 38-game Premier League season, surpassing legends like Thierry Henry (2002–03) and Erling Haaland’s recent exploits. Salah is currently 15 goal involvements ahead of any other player across Europe’s top five leagues for the 2024–25 campaign.

While Liverpool’s title charge has also been bolstered by the leadership of Virgil van Dijk and the consistent brilliance of goalkeeper Alisson, it’s clear: without Salah, the title dream might not be alive.

And the good news may keep rolling in for Liverpool fans. Following the buzz around Salah’s contract extension, reports suggest Virgil van Dijk could be next — possibly as early as next week.

With the club closing in on another league title, Liverpool seem intent on securing their biggest assets for the long haul.
