The Egyptian is reportedly wanting to re-sign on terms worth around \u00a3400,000 a week, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/football\/2021\/10\/18\/contrast-luis-suarez-mohamed-salah-contract-talks-proves-liverpools\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Telegraph&#8217;s Chris Bascombe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Mohamed Salah Contract: Liverpool Star Demanding Huge Wage<\/h2>\n<h3>Liverpool\u2019s Egyptian King<\/h3>\n<p>The talk of a new contract comes in the midst of some of the best form of Mohamed Salah\u2019s career. The winger has started the 2021\/22 season in blistering fashion, scoring ten and assisting four in the ten games he\u2019s played across all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/58940954\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quotes to BT Sport, cited by BBC Sport<\/a>, manager <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/09\/19\/fabinho-underrated-liverpool\/\" target=\"_self\">Jurgen Klopp<\/a> hailed his number 11 as \u201cThe best player in the world\u201d following another man of the match showing as Liverpool thrashed <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/10\/14\/morten-thorsby-watford-january-interest\/\" target=\"_self\">Watford<\/a> in the Premier League last time out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is top. We all see it. Who is better than him?\u201d the Reds boss said after the full-time whistle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don&#8217;t have to talk about what (Lionel) Messi and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/09\/23\/cristiano-ronaldo-signing-necessary\/\" target=\"_self\">(Cristiano) Ronaldo<\/a> have done for world football and their dominance. But right now, he is the best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see him every day.

Moves to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/10\/14\/pedri-extends-barcelona-contract\/\" target=\"_self\">Barcelona<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/10\/05\/paris-saint-germain-mbappe-deal\/\" target=\"_self\">Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> have been talked about over the past year and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/10\/18\/real-madrid-proven-right-sergio-ramos\/\" target=\"_self\">Real Madrid<\/a> are one side still linked. Despite this, the likely scenario would seem to be staying put in the North West.<\/p>\n<p>As per the Telegraph\u2019s report, however, the Reds would seemingly have to splash out a whopping \u00a3400,000 a week for Salah.
