Mohamed Salah’s Monster 2024/25 Season: Breaking Records and Redefining Greatness

When Mohamed Salah signed a two-year contract extension with Liverpool earlier this season, some skeptics questioned whether the Egyptian King could maintain his elite standards into his thirties. Salah answered emphatically, delivering one of the greatest individual seasons in Premier League history — a season filled with records, trophies, and unforgettable moments.

At 32, Salah is not just maintaining his level — he's reaching new heights, cementing his status as one of the all-time Premier League greats.

Historic Numbers That Define a Legendary Season

The 2024/25 campaign will be remembered as the year Salah redefined consistency and excellence. Across 48 matches in all competitions, Salah produced a staggering 33 goals and 23 assists — totaling 56 goal contributions, an extraordinary number that few players in football history have reached.

In the Premier League alone, Salah dominated both the goals and assists charts:

• 28 goals and 18 assists in just 34 matches.
• His nearest challengers — Alexander Isak (22 goals) and Jacob Murphy (11 assists) — were far behind.

In the calendar year 2024, Salah accumulated 52 goal contributions (29 goals + 23 assists). This achievement is rarer than it seems: in the Premier League era, only one other player has crossed the 50-goal involvement threshold in a single year — Mohamed Salah himself, back in 2018.

With four league matches still remaining, Salah is on track to extend his record for most goal contributions in a single Premier League season, currently standing at 46.

These are not just impressive numbers; they are numbers that define careers.

Climbing the Premier League's All-Time Goalscoring Ladder

Salah’s relentless scoring surge propelled him into the top five of the Premier League’s all-time top scorers list:

Salah started the season outside the top 10 with 157 goals. Over the course of the campaign, he overtook legends such as Robbie Fowler (162), Jermain Defoe (163), Thierry Henry (175), Frank Lampard (177), and finally Sergio Agüero (184).

With only two goals separating him from Andy Cole, Salah could realistically finish the season fourth — and perhaps target Wayne Rooney’s 208-goal mark before his Liverpool career ends.

Importantly, Salah is now the Premier League’s all-time leading foreign goalscorer, surpassing the likes of Agüero and Henry.

Consistency That Defies Time

Salah's numbers are not a one-season wonder. He became the first player in Liverpool’s history to score 20+ goals in eight consecutive seasons, a testament to his durability, professionalism, and unmatched hunger.

Moreover, he is one of only two players — alongside Wayne Rooney — to rank Top 10 in both Premier League goals and assists all-time.

Consistency at this level, across so many years, separates the great players from the true legends.

The Arne Slot Effect: A New System, A New Freedom

A significant factor in Salah's historic campaign has been the tactical shift under new Liverpool manager Arne Slot.

Unlike Klopp's pressing-heavy system, Slot's approach granted Salah greater freedom in attack. Salah himself acknowledged the difference:

“I told Slot: ‘As long as you let me rest defensively, I’ll deliver in attack.’ And he agreed. You can see the results.”

Under Slot, Salah was no longer burdened with relentless defensive duties. This allowed him to conserve energy and operate closer to the opponent's goal, where he is most lethal.

Tactically, Slot’s system revolves around quick transitions and exploiting wide spaces — a perfect fit for Salah’s explosive pace and sharp movement. The synergy between coach and player has been visible in Liverpool’s performances all season.

The outcome? A fresher, more efficient Salah who continued to dominate matches into the spring months, traditionally a period when players often fade.

Celebrating Titles With Fans: A Special Moment

In May, Salah finally lifted the Premier League trophy again — but this time with fans filling Anfield. His selfie celebration with supporters after sealing the title was a perfect snapshot of his deep bond with the Liverpool faithful.

“Winning the Premier League with the fans makes all the difference. It's 100 times better than during the pandemic,” Salah said.
“We have a new team, a new manager, but the same winning spirit. Slot made things easier for us, and we believed we could do it again.”

This title felt particularly sweet for Salah, especially after the heartache of missing out on several close title races under Klopp.

A New Contract, A Renewed Commitment

Earlier this season, Salah ended speculation about his future by signing a two-year contract extension with Liverpool.

Negotiations reportedly centered around the length of the deal. Traditionally, Liverpool hesitated to offer long-term contracts to players over 30. But Salah, understanding his value and form, insisted on a longer agreement — and the club eventually agreed.

The financial terms remain among the best in the league: Salah reportedly earns up to £400,000 per week including bonuses — maintaining his position as Liverpool’s highest-paid player ever.

In his first statement after signing, Salah made it clear:

“I believe in this team. I still want to enjoy my football and win trophies. I've been here eight years — I hope to make it ten. These have been the best years of my career.”

Liverpool’s commitment to Salah signals that the club believes he remains essential to their ambitions both domestically and in Europe.

What's Next for Salah?

Looking ahead, Salah’s personal targets are clear:

• Climbing further up the all-time scoring charts
• Continuing to set new records for Liverpool and the Premier League
• Leading a new Liverpool generation under Arne Slot

At 32, many players slow down. Mohamed Salah, however, seems to be speeding up.

Final Thoughts: A Season for the Ages

Mohamed Salah’s 2024/25 season is not just a great campaign — it’s a historic one. He’s delivered breathtaking numbers, broken records, adapted to a new system, and lifted silverware once again.

From his 33+23 contribution in 48 matches, to becoming the Premier League's top foreign scorer, Salah has shown that greatness is not a peak you reach — it’s a standard you sustain.

At escored.com, we recognize that we are witnessing a once-in-a-generation player who continues to evolve, inspire, and redefine what is possible.

The Egyptian King reigns supreme — and the best may still be yet to come.
