Though he nonetheless hasn’t put pen to paper on a brand new deal, Mo Salah must be well worth the spend for Liverpool based on their ex-striker, Stan Collymore.
The Egyptian King lately put the cat amongst the pigeons once more when suggesting that the Reds haven’t but provided him a brand new deal, and while his phrases could possibly be thought-about to be disrespectful, Rio Ferdinand disagrees.

Mo Salah is well worth the spend says Collymore
That’s one thing which Collymore believes Liverpool need to take into consideration as they appear to determine upon whether or not to supply him a brand new contract or not.
“How a lot is it going to price to switch Mo Salah? If you happen to go searching European soccer, there isn’t a glut of high quality, younger ‘Mo Salah’s’ which have the outrageous tempo that he nonetheless has. Let’s not overlook, one of many large issues about gamers after they age is that their tempo goes, however there’s no signal of that in any respect,” he mentioned to CaughtOffside for his unique column.
“Salah’s potential to get into wonderful positions and be medical continues to be prime class, his objectives and help output continues to be there, and he’s no bother.
“Even for those who take a look at it from a advertising and marketing perspective, whether or not it’s the truth that he’s a excessive profile Muslim participant from a soccer mad Egypt the place gamers have large international recognition, or in any other case, providing Salah a brand new deal makes absolute sense for Liverpool.
“I’m certain Liverpool haven’t ignored it, and I don’t suppose there’s a state of affairs brewing, it’s only a traditional sport of brinkmanship, the place the participant or the agent says ‘Oh, woe is me, I’m not feeling the love.’
“The membership will make applicable feedback on the proper time, however I feel that Liverpool as a enterprise and FSG as a enterprise will probably be trying on the state of affairs and eager to get the numbers proper earlier than any negotiations are entered into. They want to ensure the numbers work then transfer ahead with Mo of their squad.
“Until the Saudis need to pay a ridiculous amount of cash in January for Liverpool to promote him early, then the maths are very a lot on Liverpool paying the 350 grand per week.

“He’s a Liverpool legend, he’s gained all the things there may be to win, and he’s nonetheless very, very succesful as an A category performer to get Liverpool profitable trophies. That must be well worth the spend.”
It’s actually a really persuasive argument that Collymore makes.
If the Liverpool board need to keep on with their typical modus operandi, nonetheless, it’s fully potential that the membership gained’t supply Salah or his representatives what they’re asking when it comes to remuneration.
They do, due to this fact, run the chance of the participant digging his heels in and transferring on a free switch elsewhere subsequent summer season.
The previous saying that ‘you don’t know what you’ve obtained until you lose it’ is completely relevant right here, as a result of Salah’s kind and significance to the present Liverpool aspect is blindingly apparent.
In wage phrases, it doesn’t seem that the Egyptian is asking for the earth both and Liverpool would due to this fact be silly to maintain Salah in abeyance for for much longer…
