Liverpool plan to use a signing-on fee to help Mohamed Salah become their highest earner, while he is not asking for £500,000 per week in a new contract as per some reports, TEAMtalk has learned.
The Egyptian has become the central figure at Anfield this season, but not only for his form. While he may have scored 15 goals in 12 games, such a tally has made his contract situation more pressing.
Indeed, Salah will enter the final two years of his current terms this summer. What’s more, the 29-year-old is yet to follow suit with a new deal unlike several team-mates.
As for Salah’s situation, his salary has proved the sticking point for Liverpool’s Fenway Sports Group owners. FSG want to reward the forward, but are wary of a drop-off in form in his thirties.
Given how shrewd FSG have been, they fear a lack of return from such a sizeable commitment.
