Mohamed Salah's future with Liverpool: Will money decide the Egyptian Pharaoh's stay?
The future of Egyptian star Mohamed Salah with Liverpool FC continues to dominate the headlines of the global sports press, especially with the approach of the summer transfer season and increasing speculation about his next destination in light of his recent fluctuating goal-scoring rate.
Report reveals Salah's desire to stay
Despite strong rumors linking the "Egyptian Pharaoh" with a move away from Anfield at the end of the current season, a new report published by Football Insider has turned the tables. The report states that Mohamed Salah would be very happy to remain at Liverpool until the end of his contract, driven by the club's financial stability and his prominent position within the club.
The highest paid player in Reds history
The report explained that financial factors play a crucial role in Salah's desire to stay, as he is the highest-paid player at Liverpool, alongside Dutch captain Virgil van Dijk. The pair earn a staggering £400,000 per week, a record within the club's wage structure. Furthermore, the Egyptian star receives substantial bonuses and performance-related incentives, in addition to image rights and sponsorship deals that significantly increase his annual income, making any decision to leave require an astronomical offer to compensate for these benefits.
Liverpool legend and unforgettable records
Historically, Salah's career with Liverpool cannot be reduced to mere financial terms. Since joining the club in 2017 from Roma, Salah has broken numerous records, becoming the club's all-time leading scorer in the Premier League. He has been the cornerstone of Jürgen Klopp's project that brought Liverpool back to the top, winning the Champions League and the Premier League title after a three-decade drought. This remarkable legacy makes the idea of letting him go an extremely difficult decision for both the club's management and the fans.
The Saudi League: An alternative option and a strong competitor
Regionally and internationally, the Saudi Professional League (SPL) remains the most likely destination should Salah decide to end his European career. The ambitious Saudi sports project, which has already attracted global stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, has placed Mohamed Salah at the top of its priorities, aiming to make him the face of the league in the coming years. While the report indicates Salah's current happiness at Liverpool, the anticipated Saudi offers could be astronomical figures, potentially reshaping the landscape in the near future.
Market value and contract duration
It's worth noting that Mohamed Salah is under contract with Liverpool, and his current market value is estimated at around €30 million according to Transfermarkt, a global website specializing in football economics. Despite his advancing age, this value remains high due to his significant marketing and technical impact, making next summer crucial in determining whether the Egyptian King will continue making history in England or begin a new chapter in the Middle East.
