By Football Central Desk | June 6, 2025
In a stunning twist that has sent shockwaves through the football world, Mohamed Salah has officially signed with Newcastle United, marking the beginning of a bold new era at St. James’ Park. The Egyptian superstar, known globally for his pace, precision, and relentless goal-scoring ability, leaves Liverpool after a historic spell to embark on a new challenge in black and white.
🔁 From Anfield Icon to Tyneside Titan
The 32-year-old winger has penned a two-year deal with Newcastle, with the option for a third, in a move reported to be worth over £40 million. After six glorious seasons at Liverpool where he became one of the Premier League’s all-time greats, Salah now brings his world-class pedigree to Eddie Howe’s ambitious project.
“I’m incredibly excited to start this new chapter,” Salah said in his first interview as a Magpie. “Newcastle has shown incredible growth, and I want to be part of this journey to help the club reach the very top.”
🏁 What This Means for Newcastle
Salah’s arrival isn’t just about goals — it signals intent. Backed by the club’s Saudi ownership and guided by Howe’s dynamic leadership, Newcastle is no longer content with top-four finishes. With Champions League football secured for the upcoming season, Salah adds star power and invaluable experience to a squad already brimming with youthful promise.
This signing could also elevate Newcastle’s global profile, particularly in the Middle East and Africa, where Salah commands a massive following. Commercially and competitively, it’s a masterstroke.
📊 Salah’s Liverpool Legacy
Appearances: 349
Goals: 211
Assists: 74
Major Trophies: Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, Club World Cup
At Liverpool, Salah rewrote the record books and redefined what a winger could be in the Premier League. His departure closes one chapter but opens a new narrative — one where he looks to inspire Newcastle to similar heights.
👀 What Comes Next?
Fans won’t have to wait long to see Salah in action. He’s expected to debut in Newcastle’s pre-season tour of the United States next month. All eyes will be on how Howe integrates him into a frontline already featuring Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon.
One thing is clear: Newcastle mean business, and with Salah now in the ranks, the Premier League title conversation just got even more interest
