Jamie Redknapp names Liverpool star who should be club's highest paid player

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has claimed that Virgil van Dijk should be the highest paid player at the club - ahead of Mohamed Salah amid the forward's contract talks.

The Reds are currently negotiating with Salah's representatives to keep him at on Merseyside beyond the end of next season when his current deal runs out. With the two sides seemingly no closer to reaching an agreement, speculation has continued to mount that the Egyptian could depart the club.

Liverpool do have strength in depth in the forward areas. Diogo Jota arrived in September 2020 and has been a roaring success - much like Luis Diaz, who has been a revelation since making the move from Porto in January. Jurgen Klopp's attacking options will also be bolstered this summer when Fabio Carvalho joins from Fulham. No-one, however, wants Salah to leave.
