After the renewal of Mohamed Salah to his contract at Anfield, several reports talked about the 10 Highest-Paid Footballers worldwide and put the Egyptian star among them.
The news Kopites have been craving for months finally arrived on Friday afternoon and it’s a much-needed boost for the team going into the 2022/23 season.
Sadio Mane‘s departure to Bayern Munich meant Liverpool simply could not afford to lose Salah and that’s why the club have met his lofty wage demands.
The Egyptian is now the highest-paid player in the Merseyside outfit’s long history, his salary believed to be in the region of £400,000-a-week.
Liverpool really have gone above and beyond to keep Salah and it’s easy to understand why when you look at what he’s achieved since signing in the summer of 2017.
The former Chelsea and AS Roma winger is without question one of the Reds’ greatest ever players, scoring goals at a frightening rate (156 in 254 games) and winning a plethora of trophies – including the Premier League title and the Champions League.
