Does Mohamed Salah deserve 25 million euros a year? The Guardian newspaper answers
English writer Jonathan Wilson commented on the contract renewal crisis between Egyptian star and scorer Mohamed Salah, and his English club, Liverpool.
Through a lengthy article on the British newspaper “The Guardian”, the writer sought to answer the most important question for the “Reds” and for Mohamed Salah and for all Liverpool fans, which is whether Mohamed Salah deserves the salary of 400,000 pounds per week, equivalent to (20.5 million annually and about 25 million euros). ).
The writer considered that what fans and fans of Mohamed Salah should know is that in the culture of the successive administrations of one of the most prestigious clubs in the world, Liverpool, there is a sacred slogan “There is no player that cannot be replaced.”
The writer returned to the history of the club's relationship with its historical stars, and how he had never made himself at the mercy of any player or coach, whatever his name and his accomplishments with the club, and thus gave examples of many names.
He said, "Salah has the right to receive a salary equivalent to what he offers, and he will enter his 30th year next June, and of course he wants to guarantee a big contract for an important stage in his career that may never be repeated."
The writer asked the question: Who made the other great?
Liverpool or Salah.
He said that despite everything he presented with Liverpool as a first-class striker and a skillful dodger, but the compatibility between him and Liverpool's playing style is what turned him into a big name, and that this explains why he did not provide anything noteworthy with his country Egypt, citing the example of the recent match between Egypt and Senegal.
He said that Salah "even as he shines in Fiorentina and Rome, but his success and the brightness of his star did not appear until after he joined Liverpool in the summer of 2017."
The writer stressed that the Liverpool club managed to remain at the same level as Man City, although it spent 200 million pounds less than the "Citizen" on players in the past five years.
He stated that the club's management is not interested in stardom, as much as it is interested in maintaining financial stability.
He indicated that Salah may not get what he wants and that Liverpool may have already decided his matter, since 25 million euros annually is very far from him with Liverpool officials who have a very high skill in getting what they want at the "lowest possible price."
He also warned Mohamed Salah that venturing away from Liverpool may not mean success for him, saying that it was the "style" of playing Liverpool that made him a star, and that this had previously happened with other players such as Eden Hazar and Lukaku and many stars who failed to repeat his successes with clubs Other than that their star shined with it.
