Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah has reportedly demanded a new wage of £500,000-a-week to stay at Anfield.

According to the Mirror, the 29-year-old winger wants to become the highest-paid player in the history of Liverpool if he is to sign a new contract with the Reds.

Salah’s current contract with Liverpool is due to expire in 2023. The Egyptian winger is already one of the club’s biggest earners, yet these new demands will make the attacker one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League.

As figures from Spotrac show, only Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo earns more than £500k-a-week. Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne is second on the list with £400k-a-week.

Indeed, Liverpool have time to negotiate a new contract with Salah. The Merseyside club have been in good form in handing new deals to players this summer.

Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker and Fabinho have all penned fresh terms with the Reds in recent weeks. And Salah is now the biggest name left on the list for Jurgen Klopp to award a new contract to.

However, on social media, Liverpool fans are fuming at how much wage Salah is demanding. The winger already earns £200,000-a-week according to Spotrac.

Here’s what some supporters had to say about how much wage Salah reportedly wants to stay at Liverpool on Twitter…
