‘We’re gonna lose him’ – These Liverpool fans are saying the same thing about FSG and Salah after reported wage revelations

Posted by

Liverpool’s Mo Salah is reportedly requesting wages of around the ballpark of £400,000 per week to keep him with the Merseyside-based outfit beyond his 2023 contract expiration date.

The Egyptian has been in scintillating form this term, with 23 goals scored in 26 games (across all competitions) adding pressure to the owners to submit to his demands.

As far as several fans online were concerned, however, it seemed highly unlikely that the Americans would be prepared to bend to such a tune.

The financial cost of such an arrangement down the line would no doubt be significant – just extending the No.11’s terms till 2025 would mean a rough commitment of over £72m over the course of the contract.

Of course, if our owners were inclined to balk at such a large number, the question has to be asked as to what kind of player we could hope to attract that would suitably fill the 29-year-old’s boots for a similar amount.

Assuming that Salah truly fits the mould of a Ronaldo-Messi type player who can extend their career (more specifically, their highest level of performance) well into their 30s, there’s a justification for the long-term cost required to keep him at L4.

  1. Well, He’s worth a higher wage but not in this region considering the financial strength of FSG.

    He probably won’t be getting that amount. He should bend his request to accommodate the reality!

    Wouldn’t be a bad idea to see some new bloods coming up.
