Liverpool is dizzy because they have to spend deeply if they want to keep the Reds superstar, Mohamed Salah.
The Egyptian player is reportedly interested in Liverpool if the nominal salary he has received is increased. This time, Salah asked for 500 thousand per pound. This was reported by ESPN.
Currently, Salah is an important player at Liverpool. His role seemed irreplaceable in the Liverpool squad. Since his arrival to Anfield, the winger has become the Reds’ mainstay goal machine. In recent months there have been a number of rumors saying that Salah wants to leave Liverpool. This is because the Reds are reluctant to fulfill his contract demands.
Salah actually wants to stay at Liverpool. On condition, Liverpool management increase his salary. The winger is currently asking for a salary of 500 thousand pounds per week. This figure is a significant increase from the salary currently received by this Egyptian player.
It is said that this figure is a reasonable number. Because he made a huge contribution to Liverpool. The problem is Liverpool are reportedly struggling to meet the condition.
If they fulfill Salah’s request, then their salary burden will increase. In addition, such a large salary has the potential to cause jealousy among Liverpool players. As a result, Liverpool’s management is currently doing their best to negotiate with Salah to lower his salary demands.
Currently, Salah has collected 22 goals and nine assists for Liverpool. Thanks to the achievement of 22 goals, Salah became the temporary top scorer in the Premier League 2021/2022. On average, every Premier League game this season, Salah always strikes the ball into the opponent’s goal. That contribution also helped Liverpool sit in second place in the standings. Or just below Manchester City, which is the top of the Premier League standings.
It is not yet known, Salah’s response if Liverpool’s request is not granted. It is not impossible that he will play at another club. Especially now that there are many offers for him. One of the offers came from Barcelona.
Real Madrid and PSG are reportedly also still interested in Salah. The 29-year-old player himself once stole the attention when he said he wanted to go on an adventure in another league in 2020.
Liverpool are in the process of extending the contracts of their players in the transfer market this summer. They are Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson, and Virgil van Dijk.
