Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah will be out of contract in the summer of 2025, and he has set out his salary demands.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Mohamed Salah wants €25 million per season to extend his contract at Liverpool. It will be interesting to see if the Merseyside outfit are willing to offer him that kind of money.
The 32-year-old is one of the best players in the world and he has been exceptional for Liverpool since joining them. It is no surprise that he wants premium wages given his recent performances. He has 26 goal contributions in 21 appearances this season. He has helped Liverpool climb to the top of the Premier League table and the Champions League standings.
Salah will look to guide them to a major trophy this season, and Liverpool must do everything in their power to keep him at the club. Losing a player of his quality on a free transfer would be a devastating blow for any club. Liverpool must look to keep him beyond this season.
Liverpool must keep Salah at the club
Despite being 32, Salah remains an extremely fit player who has been very consistent with his performances. His recent performances and fitness records suggest that he could compete at a world-class level deep into his 30s. Liverpool cannot afford to lose someone with his qualities any time soon.
Apart from being a top-class attacker, Salah is an exceptional creator. The 32-year-old is a complete player who has been influencing Liverpool’s game in the final third in all possible ways. His departure would leave a gaping hole in their attack, and Liverpool might need to sign multiple players to replace him properly.
Furthermore, Salah is one of the leaders of the Liverpool dressing room, and he is invaluable to them on and off the pitch. Liverpool need to keep the spine of their squad intact if they want to compete at the highest level regularly.
Even though the wage demands seem quite steep, Salah is one of the best in the world and he certainly deserves premium wages. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool decide to agree to his demands.
