One-of-a-kind Salah has prompted FSG to interrupt with conference
If the determine quoted by Mahmoud is certainly right, then Salah would truly be getting a big improve on his present wage, which Capology cites at £350,000 per week.
As Ornstein outlined, FSG are usually reluctant handy out profitable contract extensions to gamers approaching their mid-30s (the Egyptian turns 33 in June), however the phenomenal numbers that the ahead has been hitting ever since he got here to Liverpool in 2017 warrant an exception being made.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold more likely to be part of Actual Madrid, that’d unlock £180,000 from the membership’s weekly wage invoice (Capology), which’d little doubt assist to fund the elevated wage for our quantity 11 and be sure that he wouldn’t reluctantly stroll out the door this summer time.
That Salah can at his age justify the membership’s homeowners breaking with conference and rising his pay packet when he was already the highest-earning participant at Anfield attests to only how particular a footballer he’s been, continues to be and can seemingly be over the subsequent couple of seasons.
Prior to now few months, Jamie Carragher and quite a few Liverpool followers implored FSG to ‘give Mo his dough’. It now appears that these pleas haven’t fallen on deaf ears, thank goodness!
