The situation
The soap opera Salah is entrenched in Liverpool and there are signs that an end similar to that of Mane awaits him. From England in the last few hours, the name of Real Madrid has slipped again for the moment in which the Egyptian ends his current contract next season. Meanwhile, an authorized voice in Liverpool, that of Robbie Fowler, explains that the African is further and further away from extending his contract, as far as he knows. He thus has pointed it out in his weekly column in the Mirror. “Liverpool is not going to break its salary structure to retain him, just as it did with Mané. The club has made some very clear, precise and emotionless calculations with Mane. He wanted a big contract as one of the best players in the world. I don’t blame him for that. Mane is up there with pretty much every world-class star at the moment, but what Liverpool obviously did was run their analysis and decide to sell him to buy Darwin Nunez and keep his salary structure in place. The question arises, what calculations have they made with Salah? Again, I don’t know all the answers, but what comes to mind is that they won’t break his salary structure to keep him. If they were prepared to do that, it would have already happened,” explains the Liverpool legend.
The details
Salah has been claiming the club’s attention in public and in private for a long time. Something unparalleled to accept and stamp his signature on an enlargement. He looks at other clubs like City and says he feels not as recognized as players like De Bruyne, for example. In addition, he has allowed himself to be loved in public by clubs like Real Madrid. He plays his tricks. At 30 years old, he is looking for perhaps his last big contract and has the immediate example of what has just happened with Mané. Liverpool’s pulse has not trembled and Fowler acknowledges it.
