He wants to be the best paid footballer on the squad: How much is Mohamed Salah asking to renew with Liverpool?

The last few weeks for Mohamed Salah have not been the calmest off the pitch. Beyond the exorbitant level and being the first Liverpool player to convert in nine consecutive games, his long renewal process is lengthening. His teammates, coaching staff, managers and fans hope to close the deal soon.

For this, the values for which he would sit to negotiate his new contract with the club were announced. The Telegraph newspaper published in recent days that Mohamed Salah would be expecting to earn 400 thousand pounds a week. That would rank him as the second most expensive contract in the Premier League. The only player who would surpass him would be Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently arrived at Manchester United.

Impatience began in recent days and many believe that the chance of an exit could grow. In fact, there is the firm interest of Real Madrid to take him to Spain to enjoy his dribbles and goals. If the pass is made, it would be his first experience there, following the steps in Serie A with AS Roma and in the Premier with Chelsea and now Liverpool.

The latest news on the case also does not leave out the possibility that there is also a very well-considered barter with the Merengue. The last few days came the name Eden Hazard as the most likely bargaining chip along with some money. That offer would not upset the leaders of the Reds, who seek to have a competitive roster for several more seasons.
