“Club confident to get it done soon, same for Virgil van Dijk who recently confirmed positive progress made.”

How much will Salah be paid?
As per Capology, Salah’s existing deal with Liverpool is worth £350,000 per week.
According to The Times’ Paul Joyce, a pay cut has never been on the cards for the forward during talks.
Egyptian journalist Ismael Mahmoud has further claimed that Salah’s new deal will be worth a fixed £400,000 per week, meaning that he’s set to land a £50,000 weekly pay rise.
That would therefore make Salah the joint second-highest paid player in the Premier League, along with Kevin De Bruyne and only behind Erling Haaland.
Which other clubs were interested in Salah?
Had Salah not renewed his contract with Liverpool, the 32-year-old would’ve had plenty of potential suitors from across the globe.

In the Premier League, he’s the joint fifth highest scoring player with Sergio Aguero on 184 goals. By the time 2027 rolls around, there’s a strong chance that he’s surpassed Andy Cole, Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane – although Alan Shearer’s record of 260 goals will take some beating.
