Egyptian star Mohamed Salah topped the salary list of players from Liverpool, the English Premier League title holder, as he gets twice the salary of his colleague Sadio Mane, who is paid much less than even some non-essential players in the team.

The British newspaper "The Mirror" revealed that Salah receives the largest salary in the Reds, at $ 279,000 per week, which is twice what his partner in the attack, Senegalese star Mane, who contributed to Liverpool's victories, and Salah participated in the Golden Boot as the best scorer in the league. The excellent Englishman in 2019, but he does not receive a salary equivalent to his achievements, according to the description of the newspaper.

Perhaps the huge difference in the salary may be the reason for the tension that arises from time to time between the Egyptian and Senegalese stars, as the latter, of course, does not accept his financial evaluation of the club.

The newspaper said that there was a link between Salah's announcement of his readiness to leave Anfield, and the Liverpool administration's placing him at the top of the team's players' salaries.

The strange thing is that the second highest salary in the Reds is the Spanish player Thiago Alcantara, who came to Liverpool from Bayern Munich last summer, with a weekly salary of slightly less than Salah, of about 268 thousand dollars.

While Roberto Firmino and Virgil Van Dyck share third place with a salary of about 251 thousand dollars a week, followed by captain Jordan Henderson, as well as James Milner (about 195 thousand dollars a week).

Midfield duo Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Naby Keita earn about $ 167,000 a week.

Sadio Mane is equal to Joel Matip and Fabinho (about 139.4 thousand dollars a week), which is equivalent to 100 thousand pounds sterling, and the rest of the team receive salaries less than this number, including Brazilian goalkeeper Alison Becker and the new scorer of the team Diogo Jota, Trent Alexander Arnold and Andy Robertson.
