Mohamed Salah 'wants Liverpool to give him a £500,000-per-week deal' to make him their highest-paid player, eclipsing Virgil van Dijk's new £220,000-a-week contract, as club look to tie down another star

Mohamed Salah has demanded £500,000-a-week to become the last Liverpool star to commit his long-term future to the club, according to the Daily Mirror.

It comes after Reds boss Jurgen Klopp confirmed that the club are in talks to extend his contract, which has less than two years left to run.

The 29-year-old is already one of the highest earners at Anfield and a new deal would make him the best paid player in the club's history, eclipsing Vigil Van Dijk's new £220,000-a-week contract.
