The British newspaper "Mirror" revealed that Mohamed Salah, the star of the Egyptian football team and Liverpool, asked for a record salary to extend his contract, which would make him the highest paid in the history of this club.
Salah, 29,'s current contract with Liverpool expires at the end of June 2023, and his current salary is 200,000 pounds ($277,000) per week.
The newspaper stated that Salah is asking for a record salary of half a million pounds (about 694,000 dollars) to agree to extend the contract, which will make him the highest salary not only in the current team, but in the history of the club, which is keen to immunize it in light of some reports indicating the desire of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain in the inclusion of the Egyptian star.
She pointed out that Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp is keen to continue the team's top scorer over the past four years, such as his keenness to continue some of the team's pillars, which prompted him to focus on extending the contracts of some of them in the last summer transfers instead of new deals.
And the “Mirror” concluded the report that Salah will reduce his financial demands in the end after he receives a much better salary than his current salary, which may make him the highest paid in the club as well.
Salah became the first scorer for the Liverpool team since his move from Rome in 2017, where he scored 127 goals in 206 games, and has 49 assists, and also contributed a major role in crowning the team in the Champions League and the English Premier League.
