Liverpool are set to make Salah the highest paid player in Premier League history with an annual contract of $ 27.22 million.

According to Spanish reports, the Egyptian king, whose name was linked to the move to Real Madrid this summer, is close to signing a new contract with a weekly salary of 522 thousand dollars.

Salah last summer extended his contract with the Reds until 2023, but the Champions want to offer another extension for an additional year with an increase in salary.

Salah, 27, has scored 54 goals in 74 Premier League appearances since joining the Reds in 2017.

Manchester United striker Alexis Sanchez, who is expected to move to Inter Milan this summer, is paid the same salary.
