It was an exclusive interview although Salah implied that there isnt any progress with new contract yet so it could means that he wants higher wages but Liverpool wont be giving him the amount that he wants. Kinda understandable for a player of his age, £350,000 per week is a big on a high end for sure but he still gives so much better results compared to Casemiro and Rashford 
Manchester United paid those two alot as well

Rashford is earning the same amount Salah is asking for every week and not even named on bench.
Sanchez was earning 500,000 a week years ago when Salah was earning 100k+.
Reece James and Ben Chilwell both earned more than Salah before, yes he got boosted but people like Reece and Chilwell played something like 5% of Salah's playing time.
Forget contributions on pitch at least if you pay someone they must be playing.
Blame all these assholes earning big bux doing nothing at the rich clubs.
Interviews are just like social media. Anybody can say anythiing and you can read it however you want lol
Not anybody but it was Salah himself who said that. I wouldn't bother if that was someone else 😊Like I said, anybody can say anything and you can read it however you want

Not sure if I heard it correct but I was watching an interview and he was speaking about his last season with LFC.

Have you considered the amount of Tax they pay from the amount and other expenses. If only tax we deduct then it's £192,765 he keeps. So £350,000 is not the real figure he earns.

The £300k/week was only recently offered - from 180k to 300k+ is a ridiculous amount for a player of his calibre. At this point, Liverpool is trying not to lose him for free and is using a fat cheque as leverage. Gakpo, Diaz, and Nunez will soon demand that amount as well.
Hate the fact that Manutd and Liverpool have started paying Saudi-like wages to keep players- these two oldies are ruining the game
Maguire!!! Lol

He's one of the best fullbacks around, in my opinion he deserves the 300k salary. Gakpo and Diaz will probably never be in that range, and Nunez won't be here next season.
I wonder how you came to the conclusion that he'll be asking for a raise. He's losing game time rapidly and has more yellow cards than goals and assists combined this season.
Regarding the big salaries - Chelsea's weekly salary spend is 30+% higher than Liverpool's. Arsenal is close to Chelsea, with United and City further in front.
If Liverpool renewes with all 3 key players, we'll be close to Chelsea and Arsenal - which we should be doing.

Dropped points everywhere! Manchester United must feel so powerful to prevent mighty Liverpool 
I forgot he is your academy player too so he was 'free', meaning you only get pure profit for selling. But then again like I said I think LFC never cares about outright price, if they think they lost 25m for not selling him, but gain his playing time plus assist and expected points whatever, I think they consider the gains overall.
There's no replacement for weird players like him tho. Liverpool just has to live with a different strategy. England found that out too with certain players like him, he is like a weird piece too hard to fit into everything.

Yeah, this is the current strategy. But for Trent it's a no-brainer - he's a player with huge value. Liverpool does not spend any money basically, so I don't see us being able to go out and buy a player that's world class. If we sold him on time, it would have been easier to replace him with a player of similar quality.

Doesn't have to be in the news - Liverpool does a lot of things privately nowadays. A lot of the latest signings were also completely out of the blue.
For Trent it isn't about the contract, it's about having the opportunity to try something new. Apparently, the contract offered is between 300-350 weekly but from what I hear he's likelier to reject it and move on.
Salah wants to stay, his contract will probably be renewed for 2 more years. I have a feeling VVD stays as well, probably on a year by year contract.

Just our luck that United finally decided to play some good football today. TAA's worst game I've seen in a while honestly, but there was bound to be a game like this at some point soon. Just actually really glad to see Konate back, even with a little rust needing some shaking off.
8 goals on a Sunday from two games, though, that's a treat.

Trent leaves, I expect he'll be given the chance to impress as well - but I don't really like him. He's not on a level to be starting week in week out for LFC, and I don't really think he'll ever be.
We will have to see how it pans out. He's just 21, he has lots of room to improve aspects of his game. Trent got lots of stick for his lack of defensive ability when he was growing into the squad, but was able to push back all that. Conor is better defensively for me, if he can improve his attacking game, he can be world beater.

Having said that we have a league title to win. Come on you mighty red men.
🔴
I went with a 5 - 2 win for us today.🔴
Seems reasonable, I’d take any kind of win though. Even a scrappy 1-0 win would do. We just need to keep winning.
Good to see that Konate starts, we’ve missed him.

Not sure if I heard it correct but I was watching an interview and he was speaking about his last season with LFC.
He said 'as it stands', he's fishing for that mega contract from LFC. His position considering his form is super-strong, I think he gets it.
Conor Bradley is a very capable replacement for Trent. Young, quick, has had good game time under his belt and impressed even against big teams. I'll be really surprised if Liverpool try to spend big money for a RB. They might opt to sign a similar promising youngster to fight for the position, same as on the left wing.

Yeah our owners are penny pinching bastards. If they opened their wallet a bit more often Klopp would have won more at the club.

He looks to be anticipating the contract offer, VVD I think is less likely, but still more likely than Trent commiting to another contract.

I officially hate Chelsea again. Cost me a lot in these last few games
Chelsea and Arsenal seems following each others for the last a few match. If one draw then other do the same too LOL. City seems recovering. I was ambitious picking a 1 - 1 draw for City against West Ham 😂Salah wants to stay, his contract will probably be renewed for 2 more years.

Bro I'm not crazy!!! If it isn't in the press, how am I meant to know the guy was offered a deal? There's absolutely nothing about any deal on the Internet - if you have inside information, you could as well reveal the contract terms because it (contract) must be pretty bad for him to reject such a deal 5 times.
Told kids " we're not in the title race" and they took it personally, now we're dropping points left and right. All make sense now. .

Usually I agree 100%. But maybe LFC plays in a different range in transfers. I read a long long long article maybe last season or 2 seasons ago explaining that actually Liverpool doesn't really look at transfer fees on its own. Salary is more important to them, and the returns. They actually apparently price in expected returns, playing time, training benefits into the fee.
Unlike other clubs, and it was a very interestng data-based strategy. The price isn't the first thing, but the last thing. So if they think the last 6 months on the contract = 10 assists + 2 trophies + whatever, then they think, yes this is worth 25 miliion. They don't care.
Players, like everyone else, see the price first thing, so they are always negotiating with LFC backwards.
But will TAA really leave in such bad taste if he leaves for free? Its not like he asked to be transferred. If its because he asked for too much, then I guess yeah he becomes greedy I get it but if any of them leave now, at the end of season, for free, I think why not? If they want to move on.

Is Manchester City back on the straight path?
Too early to tell, I don't think that they are out of the woods yet. They do have 2 relatively "easy" game ahead which could help them bring back some confidence but after that they have series of tough games which will tell us everything. But at least Manchester City can regain confidence after winning several times ahead with low teams.
I was reading Manchester United and Liverpool might be postponed, but luckily they decided it should still go on. I mean having 3 games in hand is impossible with the Champions League and Cup games and all that, I wonder if they are trying to derail Liverpool with making evil weather. But of course since snakes are not involved its just nature
Seeing in the news the heavy snow on this road that made the previous plan postponed, maybe LFC_Bitcoin will know the situation there.Don't know if this bad situation will affect Liverpool? I think they will not stand still but continue to slaughter him.

Click the "Fixture" list if you want to see scores, it's the only one that will load properly. Leaderboard will be all buggy til things calm down so pointless to check.
Site usually works just fine for me even on matchday so that's why I came here to heck whether its just me or the others have issues as well. January 04, 2025, 04:46:33 PM
I won't blame Trent personally; I believe he has been professional throughout the process, waiting for a proposal from Liverpool since last season, and no proposal is now on the table - Liverpool simply does not want him to stay at the club, which is evident. If there is anyone to be furious at, it is the club, not Trent.
You're crazy if you think LFC isn't offering him a deal. They probably tried at least 5 times in the last few years.
