Sadio Mane's recent move to Bayern Munich has seen him become the highest paid African player - surpassing former teammate Mohamed Salah.
The Senegal star chose to call time on his six-year Liverpool stay this summer with one year left on his deal. A switch to Bayern could earn the Reds just over £30m as the 30-year-old embarks on a new challenge, all while pocketing £250,000-a-week.
Wages are currently a sticking point in Liverpool's negotiations with Salah, who too has 12 months left on his deal. The Reds have a firm wage structure, which they would have to break to retain the Egyptian's services. The forward is seeking a reported £400,000-a-week despite currently earning £220,000-a-week.
