Mohamed Salah is due to expire at the end of the season and Liverpool are hoping to tie him down to a new long-term deal.
According to TranscriptsLiverpool hope to offer him a contract worth around €18m per season, but the player is holding out for wages of €25m per season. He wants the new contract to reflect his importance to the club’s work.
Salah has been outstanding for Liverpool since joining the club and continues to impress week in and week out. The Egyptian has contributed 26 goals this season and has helped Liverpool climb to the top of the table. Liverpool have also done well in the UEFA Champions League and are currently top of the European competition.
It will be interesting to see if they can win a major trophy this season. Salah will be crucial to their success and they must try to keep him at the club for as long as possible. Losing someone of his quality on a free transfer would be a devastating blow and it’s no surprise that Liverpool want to tie him down to a new deal.
It will be interesting to see if they are willing to relax their wage policy to complete the deal.
Will Liverpool accept Mo Salah’s demands?
The Fichajes report claims that Liverpool are now in a quandary and it remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
Despite being 32 years old, the Egyptian remains a world-class player and has the physical condition to compete at the highest level in the coming seasons. Even if Liverpool have to offer him a significant amount of money, the investment could be worth it.
Replacing a player of his quality could prove extremely difficult for Liverpool, and they may need to bring in a number of signings to fill his void. Salah is more than just a goalscorer for Liverpool, he is also an elite creator.
