Mohamed Salah's decision to sign a new contract shows he and Liverpool cannot live without each other, says chief football writer Phil McNulty

Salah, 32, had entered the final months of his contract but a breakthrough in negotiations was reached and he has now signed through to 2027

A living legend in Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has two more years to burnish his astonishing legacy at Anfield after extending his contract on Friday. He did not arrive at Anfield as a superstar destined for greatness when Liverpool paid Roma £34 million ($44 million) for his services in 2017.
