We're still in mourning (in the midst of wishing him well, obviously) for Sadio Mané and now seems like a terrible time to also get into the Salah contract saga, but here we are. The last time we checked in, Salah was rumoured to have said he would like to stay in England and join a Premier League rival if Liverpool doesn't meet his asked for salary.
Now, per a report in the Mirror, Liverpool have said they've gone as far as they are willing to without breaking the current wage structure at the club. Unfortunately for Salah's camp, that doesn't mean his current demand for a £400,000-a-week deal and it seems unlikely that either side will be willing to compromise.
Salah has previously indicated that he might be willing to negotiate, telling FourFourTwo: "In the contract it's not everything about the money at all."
On Klopp's side, he's previously said about players in negotiations: "In life, there are more things to think about than who the manager is, but knowing who the manager and coaching staff are is an important thing. If it is a positive sign for the boys, then great, but I don't think this will be the one decisive thing for whatever decision they have to make. It's their own life. We just wanted to guarantee that everyone who wants to be here knows what he can expect."
Whether staying with a manager who he's close to and a team that he's won every single trophy with will be enough for Salah to come back to the negotiating table remains to be seem.

You are trying to defend what is indefensible. Barca signed players worth over £80m on several occasions and paid their players inflated wages on a consistent basis. Now that is total mismanagement and irresponsibility from the Barca board which has brought them to their current poor financial situation. Liverpool on the other hand don't their players high wages but the best they could do to remain competitive is to retain the services of their best players, that will not harm them financially because they have the money. Ryt now they are at a disadvantage against Man City by letting Mane go. And if Salah goes too then Liverpool will surely struggle for for a few years to match the best teams
They have bought nunez, if they give mane and Sarah what they want Vvd and the rest will ask for more too and if not given they will have more problems then letting one go. Personally its a good business in the long run nunez is 22 and mane 30.. If nunez works out will stay longer kn a smaller salary.

U sure don't know the effects of giving them whatever money they want, just ask Barca and u will get a pretty good picture of the effects of player power on a football club

Give to Cezaare what belong to Cezaare. Salah has given his best to Liverpool. Now for them to reward him with bumper contract now has become something else. If he goes, you will scarcely find his replacement

If they're not giving you 350 to 400 please don't sign new contract. They MUST learn how to appreciate African players. I'm 101% Liverpool fan but Liverpool must learn.

liverpool will regret - how can you break the bank €100m to buy Nunez and then complain about Salah a proven scorer's demands for better wages...... Mane just saw that he wasn't valued as he should be and he left - Salah is next.... only then will Liverpool realise that their new front 3 is worse than United's

As a Liverpool fan l understand the phrase Wage structure. Once Salah is given 400k per week then every salary of other important individuals will need to be reviewed. For that reason Liverpool will rather let Salah go

Salah man, cut it out. Go on holiday and stop demanding excessive wages. Don't be too greedy.

Liverpool are very funny! They have no problems breaking the bank to sign a single player for €100m but they find it difficult to award their two best players in S.Mane and Salah improved contracts for their contributions to the team's success! This is the only thing that Seperates Man City from Liverpool as the better team. It doesn't matter how good a coach thinks he is, if the club cannot make efforts to retain their best players for as long as possible they will surely struggle and suffer for it.

Mane and salah had given everything for Liverpool and at their time Liverpool achieved many trophies that were away for years, do not lose such players because it will be again years long to have the trophies Liverpool had win in their time, anyone who asked for their departure are enemies for Liverpool and such players only because they want loss for Liverpool too.

If Liverpool can break the bank to sign Nunez, a youngster, they surely can pay the players who brought them back from the scrapheap what they demand. If not, there are teams who will pay them what they want.

salah should be shown the door. He shows no respect for Liverpool. He is too self centered. Mane would hve stayed and go on free next summer so as to get a huge salary box but he considered Liverpool first and walked away mutually. Salah is no better than Mane . sell him even now or allow him finish is contract and go
