Mohamed Salah isn’t going aywhere. Months of speculation surrounding the Egyptian star’s future came to an end on Friday when Liverpool delighted their fanbase with news that their hero would be staying on Merseyside until 2025.
And when you’re talking about a three-time Premier League Golden Boot winner set to compete for the 2022 Ballon d’Or, then you really can’t understate the importance of said contract renewal.
Nevertheless, it didn’t come without jeopardy because multiple reports across the British press were quick to claim that Salah had duly become the highest-paid player in Liverpool’s history.
It really did feel as though the Reds made an exception to their usually-strict rules and whether or not you agree with that course of action essentially depends on the extent to which you rate Salah.
