Mohamed Salah deserves to be the best-paid player in the Premier League. The Liverpool forward is arguably the finest footballer in the world at the moment. He is the sort of performer who should be tied into a long future at Anfield.
His deal expires in 15 months. Letting his contract get into its last year would be a dangerous game for Liverpool to play. The problem is that Fenway Sports Group (FSG) would rather not pay anyone more than £400,000 per week, especially someone who will be 30 by the time next season starts.
