We'll probably sign him, but we've spent half the summer chasing a lad to play LW (The only position we have a bit of depth) at the expense of doing anything at RB, CB, CM, RW or CF. Classic Hughes. Targets good players, but it's at the expense of building a cohesive squad
Salah will make €22m a-year net after tax in Turkey. That’s almost €42m a-year gross before taxes. This is Saudi level money, but in Europe.
Had Salah decided to cut his salary down to €11m a-year before taxes like De Bruyne many clubs in Big 5 League like Inter or Atletico will beg to sign him as they know he still has 2-3 years of top performance, has few injuries, huge sponsorships and big jersey sales.
Some think big clubs in the Big 5 Leagues are not interested in Salah because of his age, but the reality it’s Salah that is not interested in them as he is focusing on the biggest salary possible while not living in Saudi.
@AnfieldEdition@alex_crook Even if they were to recruit... Well, this is a worrying shift in the narrative surrounding our (second) primary target this summer. With just 18 days until the start of the season, we're still not sure whether we're going to sign our main target. Must feel sorry for Iraola.
Just in case people forgot, Mohamed Salah:
"This club, I’ll always support it, my kids will always support it, I love the club so much. I ALWAYS will do." ❤️
I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.
Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
