Mo Salah Weekly Pay: Mohamed Salah to earn cool $485,000 USD weekly
Friday’s announcement was music to the ears of Liverpool fans who might have feared losing their two star wingers in the same summer, after Sadio Mane’s departure to Bayern Munich earlier in the window.
The Egyptian’s new contract now means he earns £180,000 per week more than the club’s next highest paid player, Virgil van Dijk. His new £400,000 deal makes him the Premier League’s joint-second highest paid player.
The Egypt superstar told the Reds’ official website: “I feel great and excited to win trophies with the club. It’s a happy day for everyone. It takes a little bit of time, I think, to renew, but now everything is done so we just need to focus on what’s next.”
Salah has notched 156 goals in 254 games for Liverpool since arriving in 2017. Salah netted 31 times in 2021-22, again picking up the FWA and PFA player-of-the-year awards.
Mo Salah Weekly Pay: Check Highest earning Premier League players
Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo remains the league’s highest earning player, with the 37-year-old pocketing an eye-watering £510,00 per week. Salah’s wages equal those of his Premier League title rivals of recent years, Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne.
N’Golo Kante and Thomas Partey are the highest earners at Chelsea and Arsenal respectively. Perhaps surprisingly Tanguy Ndombele is the joint highest paid player at Tottenham, earning £200,000 per week alongside Harry Kane.
On the other end of the spectrum, Nottingham Forest and Brentford are the only two clubs whose highest paid player doesn’t earn more than £25,000 per week. Only seven of the 20 teams don’t pay any of their players a six-figure weekly wage.
