Salah to leave Liverpool to join Al-Ittihad
At over $127 million a year, Salah would become, essentially due to the length of his contract, the highest paid footballer in the world. Although Lionel Messi does earn between $50-$60 million in salary he also has percentages in kit sales and Apple TV, that sum will most likely never be made public.
As far as Liverpool goes the club is reported to receive $100 million in transfer fee to take Salah before the transfer window closes on Friday. Liverpool is keen on keeping Salah for the remainder of the season, but the salary offered to the player plus the high transfer will be tempting for Liverpool.
