Wont because it would be smashing their wage structure. Problem with that is you cant sign or keep the best players, especially attackers, as they command big wages. Him and Mane wanted around £350-400k p/w to stay, which when you look around isnt absurd for their levels. But their top earner is Van Dijk on £220k. They put large bonuses in contracts as an incentive, problem is they have just lost the PL and CL so the players wont see those bonuses!
 
Don’t know how Liverpool got away with just paying Mane 100k a week since he has been there and him not making a fuss!?

It doesn't make any sense though. It's not long ago that they had a higher wage bill than us (maybe the season they won it), and they're regularly in the same ballpark.
 
If we would have signed Salah, Delaney, Rob Harris, Nick Harris, Henry Winter, Tariq Panja and the others would create million fake stories about the next potential breaking FFP by us. They love Liverpool, they love their "healthy" Moneyball system, they love Yankees like Werner and Henry and they will be trying to spread fake agenda about us nonstop.

Maybe the massive bonuses, which after the PL and CL win the other year they would have paid out big time

Supposr its their way of saying lower wages, bigger bonuses. That only cuts it though if the player wins the big trophies, they have only won one of each.

'For the two financial years between 2017/18 and 2020/21, the Liverpool wage bill shot up by 23 per cent from £310m to £325m, with those rises largely attributed to bonuses paid for the Champions League and Premier League success in 2019 and 2020 respectively'

I don't know if City would go for him but I would imagine we would be his destination of choice unless Tent Peg works miracles at the Rags.

I'm sure i heard somewhere that Salah is not keen to move his family from where they currently reside, which is in Manchester's stockbroker belt.

What, you mean he doesn’t actually live in the utopian metropolis that is Liverpool?

Calling Salah toxic because he wants a wage rise that reflects his stats and reputation as one of the world best?

He must look around and see players who arnt close to him on over double his wages. Why would he accept £200k p/w just to play for Liverpool?

I don’t blame him either.

200k a week is a pittance, I wouldn’t get out of bed for twice that.

£310m to £325m is roughly 5% increase bud. Not sure where you get 23% from?
