Mohamed Salah becomes Liverpool’s highest-paid player with new contract

Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah has now become the highest earner at the club after signing a new contract on Friday.

The Egyptian superstar signed a deal that ties him to the Premier League club until 2025.

It will see Salah take home around £350,000 a week, a salary that breaks the Reds’ salary structure.

The Egyptian has scored 156 goals in 254 appearances, as well as helped guide the team to last season’s FA Cup and Carabao Cup triumphs.

He was named both the FWA Footballer of the Year and the PFA Players’ Player of the Year last season.

Speaking to the club’s website, Salah said: “I feel great and [I am] excited to win trophies with the club. It’s a happy day for everyone. 

“It takes a little bit of time, I think, to renew, but now everything is done so we just need to focus on what’s next.

“I think you can see in the last five or six years the team was always going [upwards]. Last season we were close to winning four, but unfortunately in the last week of the season we lost two trophies.

“I think we are in a good position to fight for everything. We have new signings as well. 

“We just need to keep working hard, have a good vision, be positive and go for everything again.”
