The latest transfer rumors from around the footballing world, including Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and much more.
Salah demands a huge salary from Liverpool
To avoid Mohamed Salah becoming a free agent in 2023 once his contract ends, Liverpool have begun talks for an extension. The Reds are keen to fend off rival transfer bids for their forward.
Keeping Salah will come at the price, though. The Egyptian has reportedly told Liverpool he wants £500,000 a week to extend his contract. He apparently earns over £200,000 a week on his current deal. [Mirror]
