Liverpool's New Offer to Salah: What's the Deal?

Sun Dec 08 2024
Liverpool is reportedly offering Mohamed Salah a two-year contract extension, with an option for a third year. This news came out during a live Sky Sports broadcast by Paul Merson. The club and the Egyptian star have been in talks all season, with Salah's current contract set to expire soon. Despite the uncertainty, Salah has been performing exceptionally, scoring 15 goals and providing 12 assists in 21 appearances. Some fans and critics are questioning why Liverpool let Salah's contract situation reach this point. Merson revealed this contract offer after Liverpool's match with Everton was postponed due to a storm. He believes Salah is worth a lot, suggesting a weekly salary of around $300, 000 to $400, 000. Merson admires Salah's skills, praising him as a world-class player who could fit into any team. However, he also expressed concern about the long-term financial commitment if Salah's performance drops in the future. Interestingly, Saudi clubs have long been keen on Salah. They might offer him a deal that could surpass Cristiano Ronaldo's earnings, making him the face of their league. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has also been linked with Salah, but their president has denied any talks. Liverpool remains confident about sealing a deal to keep Salah.
