Salah's Renewal Is Now Official and Fully Affects Real Madrid for 2 Reasons

The  most surprising news in the European soccer elite is the renewal of Mohamed Salah. Liverpool's '11' has been, for several months, playing coy about his continuity in the sports discipline coached by Arne Slot. After the doubts created around his sports future, the Egyptian footballer has decided to renew with the English entity.

The official announcement in all Liverpool media marks the definitive closure of one of the great sagas experienced in the noble area of Anfield Road for a long time. Likewise, this change in Liverpool's roadmap causes changes in the plans of other clubs in the European soccer elite. One of those 'affected' clubs is Real Madrid.

The renewal of Mohamed Salah is one of the contract extensions that the red bosses have pending for the next season. Just as they have secured the continuity of the Egyptian striker, from the Merseyside offices they have fallen short of ensuring the permanence of one of their most decisive recent footballers.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, although he has received those repeated approaches from Liverpool's executives, would have decided to orient his future in the European soccer elite away from the English city. In that sense, the still '66' red would have chosen Real Madrid as his new club... given the irresistible approach that the bosses led by Florentino Pérez put forward just under three months ago.

Double Effect

That  link between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Real Madrid, a connection that makes Liverpool desist from any attempt to renew the right-back, is not the only repercussion in the white key. The renewal of Mohamed Salah, who will stay at Anfield Road until the summer of 2027, also affects the forward line of the first white team.

The transfer market rumors pointed to one of Carlo Ancelotti's key players to replace Mohamed Salah in case the African striker did not continue in England. The name of Rodrygo Goes, after that contract extension of Salah himself, moves considerably away from the Merseyside entity... at least for the next two years.

Besides that renewal that puts distance between Rodrygo and his possible signing for Liverpool, the environment of the '11' verdeamarelo has made the player's position clear. According to the forward from Osasco, his future is at Real Madrid... no matter what competitive circumstances tie him to the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez.

After opening the door to his departure from Santiago Bernabéu locker room a day before the Wembley final, Rodrygo Goes reconsidered and listened to the white bosses. His role in the first white team is irreplaceable, since Carlo Ancelotti counts on him for the most demanding moments of any season.
