According to reports, Liverpool has announced the maximum amount they will offer Mo Salah on his new contract
Liverpool is willing to pay Mohamed Salah more than £300,000 per week in order to make him their highest-paid player.
According to 90min, the Reds and Salah's camp are "still some way apart" in terms of how much the Egyptian should be paid.
Liverpool, according to the report, has taken a "new approach." This reportedly 'presents positives' in that Salah's agents have not yet withdrawn from negotiations.
However, no agreement has been reached. In fact, 90min claims that the agreement may still take some time and is "not on the horizon." Liverpool, according to reports, "won't go as high." as £400,000 per week for Mo.
Furthermore, Real Madrid has been mentioned as a possible suitor if Liverpool is unable to reach an agreement with Salah. Barcelona is another club that is reportedly keeping an eye on the situation.
Form is only temporary.
Salah's performances for Liverpool at the start of the season prompted calls from many quarters to pay him whatever he demanded.
Mo's form, on the other hand, has deteriorated dramatically in recent months. That isn't a reflection of his ability; all players experience peaks and valleys. As the old adage goes, form is transient, but class is eternal. That is true of all great players, including Salah.
However, it should also provide some context for the numbers being discussed.
According to the mentioned report, Virgil Van Dijk is currently Liverpool's top earner, earning 'less than' £250,000 per week.
Because of Liverpool's current position in the game, that is a low amount for a star player. The Reds, on the other hand, must live within their means. They don't have the resources that other clubs do, so they must be cautious not to jeopardize the club's finances.
A reasonable proposal From the perspective of Liverpool, the figure mentioned here appears to be very reasonable. There's a chance Mo can regain his early-season form and make a higher salary seem justified; here's hoping he does.
With that in mind, Liverpool's stance appears to be a positive one. The club should always take precedence.
Salah has a great rapport with the club, the staff, and his teammates. There should be hope that a solution that works for everyone can be found so that the relationship can continue.
However, Liverpool have demonstrated in the past that they will not do anything on terms other than their own.
