As Mohamed Salah's contract stand-off with Liverpool dragged on, it became clear the Liverpool superstar was in no mood to accept anything less than what he's worth.
The Egyptian has become one of the world's very best players since he last put pen to paper and wanted to be rewarded accordingly. With Liverpool's well-documented pay structure, however, that posed issues. Eventually, the two came to an agreement and it was announced on Friday that he has committed his future to Anfield until the summer of 2025
Salah's deal gives him what he wants - a package worth in excess of £350,000-a-week to make him the highest-paid player in the club's history. However, that does not tell the whole story. Liverpool have stressed that the deal is structured with a host of bonus clauses to reach that headline figure.
