Liverpool Set Low Asking Price For Mohamed Salah, He Wants £160k More Per-Week Than Virgil Van Dijk

The 30-year-old, who is about to enter the final year of his five-year deal at Anfield, has been linked with a summer move as contract talks continue to drag on.

In fact, Salah has been in 'deadlock' with Liverpool for almost a year over his pay.

That means Salah, who currently earns £240,000 per-week, wants £160,000 more than Van Dijk.

That same report suggests the club's owners, FSG, will consider offloading the Egyptian forward if they receive an offer in the region of £60 million.

“News that he would be open to another Premier League move is true," the Reading the Game newsletter read. "But sources close to the player still insist a dream is to plan in Spain, preferably Real Madrid.”

“What is essential here is the wage structure that needs to be respected for Liverpool to keep a harmonious camp and to remain sustainable,” he said.

“Paying Mo Salah in excess of £400,000 a week as he heads into his 30s is one thing. It’s a much bigger question than paying Darwin Nunez, I don’t know what it will be about £80, 90, 100, 110,000 a week.

“That slots in perfectly and that is part of Liverpool’s methodology going forward. Paying in excess of 400,000 pounds a week is not, and perhaps that’s why we don’t have an agreement on Salah as things stand.”
