Some Liverpool supporters have reacted angrily to claims regarding Mohamed Salah’s future, with some fearing that it could lead to him leaving the club.
The Egyptian has arguably been the superstar of the Jurgen Klopp era at Liverpool, producing incredible levels of quality for the Reds. Salah has scored a remarkable 127 goals in 206 appearances for the Merseysiders, smashing numerous records along the way.

While a host of the 29-year-old’s teammates have signed new deals at Anfield this summer, his contract remains unchanged, with it expiring in the summer of 2023.
According to The Mirror [via Anfield Edition on Twitter], Salah is demanding an eye-watering £500,000 per week in order to sign on the dotted line, which would make him easily the highest-paid Liverpool player of all time, amid reported interest from the likes of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
