There has been a fresh update regarding the state of play between Mohamed Salah and Liverpool in contract negotiations, while Manchester City are battling the same rival for two players – all in Tuesday’s transfer gossip.
Mohamed Salah is seeking a weekly wage of £500,000 from any new contract he signs at Liverpool.
Salah recently indicated a desire to spend the rest of his career at Liverpool. However, as things stand, his contract will expire in 2023.
Liverpool have thus outlined his situation as a priority issue to resolve. But given his status as arguably the most in-form player in the world, an extension will not come cheap.
Approaching his 30s, Liverpool must weigh up whether it would be worth investing in Salah for a longer term. But on current form it would seem unreasonable to consider letting him go.
