With his new Liverpool deal, MOHAMED SALAH now has one of the highest salaries in the Premier League.
The forward's previous contract was set to expire in the summer of 2023, which led to months of rumors about his future, which were put to rest by the new agreement, which was announced on Friday.
The winger had been linked with a move to Real Madrid at the tail end of the previous campaign, according to rumors.
With his new contract, Mohamed Salah is now tied for the second-highest earner in the Premier League.
After Sadio Mane's departure to Bayern Munich earlier in the transfer window, Liverpool supporters may have been concerned about losing both of their star wingers in the same summer. However, Friday's announcement was welcome news for them.
Due to his new contract, the Egyptian now makes £180,000 weekly more than Virgil van Dijk, the next highest paid player in the team.
He is now the joint-second highest paid player in the Premier League thanks to his new £400,000 contract.
Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United continues to have the highest salary in the league.
The 37-year-old earns an outrageous £510,00 each week.
Salah's pay is on par with that of Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City, who has recently challenged Salah for the Premier League title.
The top earners at Chelsea and Arsenal, respectively, are N'Golo Kante and Thomas Partey.
Unexpectedly, Tanguy Ndombele earns £200,000 per week alongside Harry Kane to share the top salary at Tottenham.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, only Brentford and Nottingham Forest have a best paid player who makes less than £25,000 per week.
Only seven of the 20 teams do not provide any of their players a weekly salary of at least six figures.
