Mohamed Salah told he can earn more than Cristiano Ronaldo as Al-Ittihad offer incredible £65m salary but Liverpool refuse to sell

Mohamed Salah has been offered a three-year contract worth a staggering £65 million ($82m) per year by Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad.

Al-Ittihad have tested the resolve of the Egypt international by offering him a base salary, before bonuses, of £65m. Given that income in Saudi Arabia is untaxed, it works out to a weekly wage of £1.25 million, and Ben Jacobs reports that Salah has been told he can earn more than Cristiano Ronaldo in the country, when bonuses and sponsorships are included.

According to The Independent, Liverpool remain adamant that they will not sell Salah this summer, but it remains to be seen if he will make a push for the move, given the huge wages involved.

Salah remains integral to the Liverpool cause, playing in every Premier League game last season and scoring 19 goals, while also laying on 12 assists. He has already scored once this term, while also laying on an assist, in two games. Salah will likely be involved when Liverpool play Newcastle in the Premier League this season.
