Apparently, Salah is after 57 million Ksh a week (at most), and a deal until 2025.Salah demands 57 million Ksh per week from LiverpoolAnd after being in a sensational form this season, this subject was brought up again, but this time, the Egyptian also involved coach Jurgen Klopp into the equation.”I said it several times, if the decision is up to me, I want to stay in Liverpool. But the decision is in the hands of the management and they have to solve this issue. There is no problem but we have to reach an agreement for the contract. It’s up to them. Your financial value shows how much the club appreciates you and that they are ready to do anything for you to stay, but the decision itself is not based on those financial matters only. There are things like the ambition of the team and the coach and what he wants to do with the team and the players he wants. These are all important points when making the decision” said Salah.(2.25) MILAN (3.50) LIVERPOOL (3.35)Barcelona coach Xavi recently expressed his admiration of the Egyptian, but the club’s situation is well known, and it’s not possible for the Catalonians to get anywhere near Salah. Still, Reds forward used those reports to his advantage.“I read what was said about Xavi’s interest to sign me. This is something that makes me happy that a team like Barcelona is interested in me, but I’m happy in Liverpool and we will see what happens in the future. At the moment, I prefer to stay in the Premier League as it’s the strongest league in the world” said Salah to Egyptian broadcaster MBC Masr TV.
