Initial reports suggested Salah's representatives were demanding £500k-a-week but that isn't the case.

The star winger wants between £300k and £380k-a-week, according to the .

Salah is in red hot form this season and has picked up nine goals and three assists in just nine games.

The former Chelsea player is said to want his new contract to extend until 2025 - when he would be 34.

Salah is said to pocket around £200,000-a-week at the moment making him the club's joint-second highest earner with Thiago.

Van Dijk, on £235k-a-week, is the highest earner but if Salah gets his demands, he would eclipse the Dutch icon.

Kevin De Bruyne is the highest Prem earner at Manchester City - £385k-a-week - and it could be argued that Salah is just as important to Liverpool as De Bruyne is to City.

Liverpool are second in the Premier League - one point behind league leaders Chelsea who have 16 points from seven games.
