Salah’s Contract Talks Hit Roadblocks Amid Key Player Concerns

The negotiations for a contract renewal between Mohamed Salah and Liverpool were immense hurdles when the club consistently made offers well below what Salah wanted. Salah, entrenched in Liverpool, with family as well, wanted a deal commensurate with his contribution and status, while Liverpool easily intended to maintain a healthy economic balance, taking into consideration his age and potential performance. Points of contention included fixed as opposed to variable pay structure and bonus terms, which resulted in an impasse on agreement.

They have to look in accordance to the upcoming contract fouls for both Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold; however, Salah’s case is utmost because of his great on- and off-field value while being at the same time pressured by the attention of other clubs from the first team, such as Alexander-Arnold.
