The latest Ekings News has revealed that Liverpool has agreed to pay Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah £400,000 a week. To persuade the 29-year-old Egyptian national team captain to stay at Anfield

Mohamed Salah is close to a £400,000-a-week contract and will make Liverpool a “big problem”. This is according to ex-Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor. In an exclusive interview with Football Insider, the former England striker claimed the new deal could destroy the wage structure of Liverpool. This is because Salah’s teammates will also want higher wages.

The 29-year-old is out of contract at Anfield in the summer of 2023 and told Sky Sports on Saturday, April 9, that the situation is “sensitive”. Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are young. An old contract that runs until next summer with Virgil van Dijk, Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Andrew Robertson, has been committed to new contracts over the past 12 months.

Liverpool in Trouble?

“I think there will be a big problem at Liverpool. Because I’ve heard Salah is close to signing a new £400,000-a-week big deal,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider’s, Connor Whitley. The reason why Liverpool was afraid to give that to him was that Mane then wants something similar. Then you have and van Dijk will want to renegotiate. Even though he had just signed a new contract, when you cross the wage limit at the club, the door will open and other players will want more.”

“If Salah gets £400,000 a week, Mane needs £350,000 a week.” Liverpool might be thinking. ‘Can we give that to him when we have Diaz coming in as a good player? It will be very interesting and expensive for Liverpool, a big problem.”

“But if I am Mo Salah, I have to ask for what I deserve. He will not come close to the earnings of Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappe, although his pace is now on par with them. He wants to be paid what he deserves. He is the top scorer in the Premier League. The best players in the Premier League ‘Give me what I deserve Despite the limitation of the wage ceiling But that’s not my problem.’”
