The British newspaper "The Mirror" revealed details regarding the renewal of Egyptian star Mohamed Salah's contract with Liverpool FC, noting that he is demanding a substantial salary increase to extend his contract. The British outlet reported that Liverpool's management wishes to keep Mohamed Salah with the "Reds" for an additional two years under better financial terms, indicating that this would make him the highest-paid player in the club's history.
It was confirmed that Salah is seeking a weekly wage of £500,000 to agree to renew his contract with the club, taking advantage of the management's desire to finalize the renewal amid interest from several European clubs in acquiring his services. The newspaper emphasized that these circumstances place the Egyptian pharaoh in a stronger position than Liverpool, leading to possibly difficult negotiations for the club's management with his agents, who may have to concede to his demands in the future, especially since he continues to perform well with the team.
The report concluded that European football giants, particularly Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Juventus, are interested in securing Mohamed Salah's services. It is worth noting that Salah's contract with Liverpool expires on June 30, 2023, and he currently earns £200,000 per week under his existing agreement. Salah joined Liverpool in 2017 from AS Roma and has won four titles with the "Reds," including the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup. He has scored 127 goals for Liverpool in 206 matches across all competitions, along with 49 assists.
