And the club will know that, so a 70m wages deal to keep Salah for another 4 or 5 years, is actually no bad business.
Clearly he should be the highest paid player on the team as the team has centered the offense around him more than anyone else. How much more than the next player is up to the team to decide, but there needs to be compromise from both parties.
Van Dijk, arguably the best CB in the sport, extended his contract over the summer without a fuss and is now making 220K a week (per what i have seen reported online), when players like Alaba, De Ligt, and others make more than that. He didn't make any noise about wanting to be the highest or one of the highest paid CBs in the world but rather saw the big picture of a still very lucrative contract, playing for Liverpool and Klopp.
Let's hope Mo does something similar and an agreement that helps both parties can be reached.
