For reference, Man United have 8 different players on Mo Salah's wages and more.

[rebelwithacause]

266 games. 160 Gs and 72 Assists. Is there a better EPL stats for a wide player?

[douba]

Surely the fact that Liverpool haven't made any big signings in the summer means they have the ability to re-sign Salah, Van Dijk and Alexander Arnold to new contracts.

[alexischristou]

The bottom line is hes still the best winger the premier league has ever seen, hes still insanely productive and considering how well he takes care of himself he could easily be this productive for another couple of years at least.

People are also severely underestimating what he does creatively his assists in the last few years have improved dramatically, hes literally the complete player.

[MrKaravaj]

For me Salah is top 3 of all times strikers/wingers in Epl

[mohamedismail]

Everyone is talking about how much he's making but none is talking about how much the club is making because of his goals, assists and name on the team sheet!

Mo Salah, s Market Value is Astronomical❤‼️✨️👌

[RAW-zwjt]

Salah knows he's getting older and prob more prone to injury and he's a sensible fella. Money is not main issue for him coz he loves Liverpool though at one stage last year after his injury some of the fans wanted him out...

[andyballard]

Macca really should be involved in a whole segment about Trent as he did get lured to Real so he can speak with thorough knowledge and also what the friendship with Jude might mean

[oiulti]

Hmm…. Why would they pay him less? You can’t speculate he’ll do less, when he’s still doing a lot.

[fatoomgierdien]

Mo Salah is THE MOST COMPLETE FOOTBALLER ✨️👌‼️

[fatoomgierdien]

Mo Salah has been the Best Footballer x8yrs‼️✨️👌

Who will answer for my question why Mo Salah is not even top 30 for Balon d'r competition ? It's a pity shame on you FIFA organization 😡.

[Kenneth_Usher]

Salah will stay he wants to continue to break records

[BobbyShels]

An interesting statistic would be how many games, in which Salah scored, could we have won anyway. Salah scores an unbelievable amount of 2nd, 3rd, 4th and even 5th goals in games. His highlight reel really stopped a few years ago, as reliable as he still is of course.

[timmy]

i don’t think he’ll expect a pay rise, especially since the club has already broken the structure for him. If Liverpool offer him 2 more years on the same wages with maybe a goal bonus i think he’ll accept cus other than real madrid or saudi where can he go that’s better than liverpool? he also has beef with madrid so he wouldn’t go there and he’s too competitive and hungry still to go saudi now, he knows he can go saudi in 2/3 years

[thabanisindapi]

What does age got to do with it, Salah is in incredible shape and will do what he does for next two to three seasons

[GreenHarpFinancial]

This such an easy thing to do because he's muslim doesnt drink or smoke his wife is not an influencer go look at her photos dresses modest. Liverpool can pay him 400k a week, if a player says I want Mo's contract you say no we can only do that for Mo cause saudi will give us 200M at even when hes 35 -36. To be honest the Mo deal should be way easier van dyk or Trent cause the business side take care of itself. i would sign him 4 year maybe with less money if he is still good at age 34 you keep him and can still sell him the next season.

[lrbjames]

Why is Mcmanama talking as if Salah is a superstar player who is his twlight of his career...hes top 3 player in the premier league n is in fit physicall condition...its no brainer...just extend the same contract by 2 yrs....2 yrs we all know he will still be at his best !

[moaimsong]

Every Liverpool fan wants Salah contract extended. Salah has been performing and is still performing and will do at the top level for the next few years.
