Mo Salah only headed for a new deal with Liverpool after they almost doubled his salary.
A record deal with which the Egyptian attacker will earn 400,000 pounds a week
The Egyptian Attacker, Mo Salahthrough the agent Ramy Abbasmade it clear to Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the parent company of Liverpool FC, that he would consider returning to Stamford Bridge, where he already played for two years between 2014 and 2016, before renewing with the team led by Klopp.
FSG spent nearly a year resisting salary demands beyond the structure it had seen Virgil van Dijk as the main employee of the club with 225,000 pounds sterling a week, according to information detailed by the English media, The Sun.
SunSport revealed that Liverpool were even psyched up to receive the £60m for Salah instead of letting him go for free next June, when his last contract expired.
But the top leaders of the FSG realized that, having been forced to sell to sound hand to Bayern Munich in a £35m deal, losing to Salah against a direct Premier rival was a bad move.
The threat of the Blues forced them to rethink the importance of Salah to give him a new contract rather than sell him to a direct rival for 60 million pounds.
According to information from the aforementioned media, the new owner of the Blues, Todd Boehly reportedly tried to sign the Reds star when talks over a new three-year deal stalled.
Mo Salah he only headed for a new deal with Liverpool after they almost doubled his salary to make him Liverpool’s highest-paid, a record deal with which the Egyptian striker will earn £400,000 a week.
