Top 10 Highest Paid Football Stars After Mohammed Salah Pens New Liverpool Deal

Mohammed Salah has inevitably shot up the ranks in the enviable list of highest-earning football stars in world football today.

The 30-year-old Liverpool forward put all transfer speculations to bed on Friday, July 1 when he put pen on paper in a new three-year deal with Liverpool.

Liverpool were overly determined to keep Salah, having already lost Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich weeks earlier.

In truth, Salah deserved a new deal as he has been a revelation since moving from Roma to Anfield in 2017.

At Liverpool, he has managed to score an impressive 156 goals in 254 games, winning huge pieces of silverware along the way.

While his new deal entails Salah earning something in the region of £400,000 a week, he is still miles behind the highest earner in football – Kylian Mbappe.
