Gary Neville insists Mohamed Salah has "played" Liverpool after landing a new three-year contract.
The 30-year-old put pen to paper on a fresh deal worth in excess of £350,000 per week to make him the highest paid player in club history. Salah's previous contract was set to expire in June 2023, a situation which had put Liverpool in a difficult position over the past 12 months.
But after deciding to cash in on Sadio Mane, who had been in a similar situation with just one year left on his deal before departing for Bayern Munich, the Reds met their star's lofty demands and agreed on a lucrative deal which keeps him at Anfield until 2025. Manchester United legend Neville wasted little time in hinting that Salah's initial refusal to sign new terms was all part of the plan to squeeze more out of his employers.
