The renewal of Salah and Liverpool seems like a complicated case. The player makes some requests that the English club is not willing to accept, for the moment. According to the English press (Mirror), Mo Salah has demanded a contract of 400,000 euros a week. The former Chelsea striker has made it clear through his representative during negotiations that he does not believe his demands are excessive.
Cristiano Ronaldo earns 500,000 a week at Manchester United, aged 36. And Kevin De Bruyne signed a new contract at Manchester City last year that brings him 400,000 a week. Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, is using those figures in talks with the Merseyside club. For the time being, the club’s response has been no.
It does not seem strange that there are differences between what Liverpool wants and the player’s environment. Klopp already dropped it a few days ago when they asked him about the subject. “Salah wants to stay, but there is also the agent,” he stated bluntly. And a few days before, it was the player himself who brought up the subject in an interview in which he confirmed that he wanted to continue at Anfield but that the last decision was up to the club. Ball to the roof of Liverpool.
The issue is Salah’s contract ends in the summer of 2023 and the negotiations are stuck. We will see what part he gives his arm to twist and Salah’s desire continues its course in the reds…
