Mohamed Salah’s contract at Liverpool is the catalyst for him to earn at least £1m a week in total income, his lawyer and adviser has indicated. Ramy Abbas Issa told a Harvard Business School (HBS) study, seen by the Guardian, that would be a “conservative” expectation of what the forward makes.
Abbas and Salah also detail how close the highest-paid player in the club’s history came to leaving before a new deal, which runs to 2025, was confirmed on 1 July 2022.
