Liverpool is set to make Mohamed Salah the most highly-paid among their players.
The Reds would employ a signing-on fee to entice the Egyptian forward whose current deal expires in 2023 and make fresh terms with the club.
The 29-year-old who is at the top of his form has netted 15 times in all matches in the ongoing campaign.

His unparalleled finishing, dribbling, and speed have helped Jurgen Klopp’s side immensely.
His contributions in the last two league matches of double 5-0 win against Watford and Manchester United cannot be underrated.

The 2017 and 2018 CAF African Footballer has previously scored one and assisted one against Watford before scoring a hattrick plus one assist at Old Trafford against United.
His deal’s extension would see him overshadow Van Dijk who currently earns £220,000 a week and would thus become the highest-paid player at Anfield.
Salah said: “It doesn’t depend on me, but if you asked me I would love to stay until the last day of my football [career].
“I can’t say much about that, it’s not in my hands. It depends on what the club wants.”
