Mohamed Salah is holding all the cards in his hands with only a year left on his contract. He’s free to ask whatever he likes from Liverpool because the English club has only three options: give in to his requests, sell him now or lose him on a free transfer in 12 months. And because of Salah’s demands are $490,000 per week – Jurgen Klopp and his associates aren’t too happy with either of those options.18.30: (2.20) Lys Sassandra (2.95) Stella (3.50)News stories on Saturday morning say that Liverpool is ready to let Salah leave before the start of the new season – but only in the case of a $74 million offer. The 30-year-old forward is biding his time and waiting for Real Madrid to act on their long-standing interest.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Salah’s demands would see his salary nearly double and go way above the club’s current top earner Virgil van Dijk, who pockets around $300,000 every week. Last season Salah scored 31 goals and provided 16 assists for Liverpool across 51 appearances in all competitions.Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has won every trophy in the book with the Reds. But as it proved with Sadio Mane just a few days ago, nobody is indispensable. If the financial side of any deal isn’t right, Liverpool will let one of their best players leave.🚨 Liverpool could allow Mo Salah to leave this summer for £60m after he demanded £160k-a-week more than Virgil van Dijk to sign a new deal at the club.

Luis Diaz, Harvey Elliott and new arrival Fabio Carvalho are all ready and waiting to make that position their own.Losing both Mane and Salah in the same transfer window would be a painful blow, especially for the supporters, but Klopp learned a long time ago that players nearing the end of their contract have the upper hand and can decide their own future.
