The future of MO Salah is secure, a 20th domestic title is in the bag and now the Egypt striker is aiming at next season.
Liverpool took the Premier League crown with a pounding 5-1 that hit Tottenham in Anfield in Anfield on Sunday, so that they were put out of the reach of the second placed arsenal.
That attracted them level with Manchester United on 20 English top division titles and means that they are only four trophies of the total trek of their bitter rivals of 60.
The coronation of the Reds came only two weeks after their star player, Salah, joined the club by signing a two -year contract worth £ 380,000 a week.
That ended months of speculation about the future of the 32-year-old when his deal was approaching due date and fans of Liverpool feared that he would leave the club in the summer.
The Saga added emotion to the celebrations of Salah and Liverpool on Sunday and on Tuesday the attacker went to social media to think about the title win – and to look ahead to the next season.
“This is what we wanted to deliver to our fans more than anything,” he posted on X together with photos of Anfield parties.
'This is a club that should always compete for everything and must be at the top. No apologies. All teams win games, but in the end there is only one champion. That is what history remembers and this also applies to next season. '
The words will sound like an ominous declaration of intent for the rivals of Liverpool of a man who stands top of the Premier League hit lists for both goals scored (28) and assists (18).
His comments about social media also nodded to remarkable celebration scenes on Anfield on Sunday. It was the second time that Salah won the Premier League title, but the opportunity could not have been much different than 2020, when the Reds played the last 10 games of their title-winning campaign for empty grounds due to the COVID-19 Pandemie.
“This is much better, 100 percent,” Salah told Sky Sports after Sunday's clincher.
'Without Sadio (Mane), without Jurgen, without Bobby (Firmino) – Without everyone feels more special.
“We now have a different group, different manager, so being able to do it again is something special.”
Salah also paid tribute to Arne Slot who replaced Jurgen Klopp at the start of the season. Asked if his new manager had made him a better player, Salah joked: 'You can see the numbers – it seems like that!
“He was very honest. He is pretty tough his personality, but he made our lives easier because you immediately knew what he wanted you to do, what we did. '
