On Friday morning, Liverpool officially confirmed that Salah had put pen to paper on a new deal at Anfield that is thought to keep him at the club until the summer of 2027.

The announcement brought an end a long-running contract saga with many Reds supporters fearing the Premier League’s top scorer would depart for nothing at the end of the campaign.

Instead, Salah is staying put and that, according to Aina, is bad news for the Premier League. When alerted to Sky Sports News' coverage of Salah’s contract announcement, the Nottingham Forest defender made his feelings clear during an hilarious post on social media.

"Has he signed? Mohamed has signed again?," the full-back asked on Snapchat, before stating: "The league is finished! It is dead!

"He signed on? Everyone's in trouble! He signed on again! F****** hell..."

Before committing his future to Liverpool, Salah had been strongly linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League.

In fact, according to BBC Sport, Salah was in line to earn at least £500m in Saudi Arabia, but ‘turned down’ those advances by placing sporting ambition over financial gain.

“If I don’t believe that, I would have not signed. I believe the team can win trophies,” Salah told Liverpool’s official website.

“With the support of the fans and the city, and the support they always give us in the games, I believe we can win many trophies in the next years.

“I think I said in the beginning of the season, I just want to win the Premier League more than anything else. I want it so bad, to be fair.

“The fans deserve it – last time we won it we didn’t celebrate it that much. Hopefully we do it this time. There’s still seven games to go, it’s not going to be easy at all because Arsenal are also catching up.

“We’ll give it our all and hopefully in the end we can win it.”
