The Reds legend believes a new deal will be signed by a superstar performer, but doubts some of the figures being speculated on are true
John Barnes is "not convinced" that there is any truth to the rumours suggesting that Mohamed Salah is demanding £500,000-a-week in any new contract at Liverpool, with the Reds legend seeing that speculation sparked by Cristiano Ronaldo's lucrative deal at Manchester United.
A Portuguese superstar has returned to English football on big terms, with a bar being raised when it comes to pay packets in the Premier League.
Inevitably, there are now reports of Salah demanding even more money in his extension talks at Anfield, with an Egyptian forward currently tied to terms through to 2023, but Barnes believes a compromise will be reached below the figures being bandied about.
