The Egyptian forward has put pen to paper on a new deal at Anfield to end months of speculation about his future at the club - after his old contract was due to expire this summer.
Salah said: "It’s great to be here another two years. So I’m happy to sign a new contract. We have a great team now. Before also we had a great team. But I signed because I think we have a chance to win other trophies and enjoy my football. I had my best years here. I played eight years, hopefully it’s going to be 10. Enjoying my life here, enjoying my football. I had the best years in my career."
The forward has been in scintillating form this season as Liverpool close in on the Premier League title and cited his relationship with Reds manager Arne Slot as another important factor in extending his contract.
Salah said: "I think we have a good relationship. We understand each other on and off the field, which is very important. We have good communication, we discuss almost everything he wants me to improve and he wants from me. And also if I feel there’s something in doubt, I go and speak to him. That’s a great asset to have also as a manager."
Slot praised Liverpool's hierarchy for tying down Salah, who had been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League.
The coach said: "I’m part of the process but I don’t deserve the compliments. First of all, it’s Mo’s choice and his agent’s choice and what he wants. Second of all, the club – FSG [Fenway Sports Group], Richard (Hughes), Michael Edwards [FSG’s CEO of football] – put in a lot of effort to influence that. Effort mostly means money but not only money. What it might tell you is that it’s not [only] a good season this season but next season as well. Mo is convinced we have a fair chance of being able to do so. Again, that’s positive.
"If you want to sign new players or players who want to extend here it is always a positive to see one of our star players over the last seven or eight years has made the choice to extend his contract. It also shows how ambitious this club is: not only Mo but the owners and the ones who came in last season, that we are really ambitious to keep performing the way this club has performed for so many years."
