No one expected that Salah, who was rumored to be sold to Liverpool for 70 million a few days ago, actually successfully got the club's high-paying contract on the first day of July and will continue to stay in . Field fights for the championship. According to "Daily Mail", Salah's weekly salary exceeds 350,000 pounds, which is comparable to C Ronaldo and De Bruyne. And his new contract does not expire until the summer of 2025. Although this news is a bit cruel for Mane, who has been sent to Bayern, Liverpool and Salah have undoubtedly achieved a win-win situation, and the suspense of the Premier League next season can continue to be maintained.
Last season, Manchester City used a 1-point advantage to defeat Liverpool to defend the Premier League title. However, Liverpool, who once aimed at the quadruple crown, only won 2 domestic cup titles. This summer, Manchester City successfully signed Norwegian center Haaland. Although they sent away Brazilian forward Jesus, Sterling also has a high probability of switching to Chelsea, but they have Haaland. With this super center, there is no doubt that Manchester City's forward scoring ability has skyrocketed. At the same time, England international midfielder Phillips and Brighton left wing Cucurella are also infinitely close to the Etihad, and even the goalkeeper position has been signed. With Ortega, who is more reliable than Steffen, and with all three lines perfectly reinforced, Guardiola's team will become even more terrifying.
As Manchester City's strongest competitor to dominate the Premier League, Liverpool once pushed Guardiola's team to the edge of the cliff in the past 2021/21 season. After a series of signings and reinforcements, Klopp The teams have slightly surpassed Manchester City in terms of bench depth. However, the contract renewal issue of the striker twins Mane and Salah has been bothering the Red Army. Now, Mane has gone to the Bundesliga to join Bayern, but Salah has successfully renewed his contract. Liverpool's move is undoubtedly very wise. .
From the bottom of his heart, Salah does not want to leave Anfield. After all, before joining Liverpool, he was only a second-rate forward in Serie A . He has been able to win the championship in the past five seasons and become a world leader. A super forward, Klopp's tailor-made tactical system for him is one of the most important reasons. It is worth mentioning that when Salah first came to Anfield, he occupied the right wing position that previously belonged to Mane. In the first half of the 2017/18 season, Coutinho had not yet joined Barcelona. Mane received a red card in the 0-5 away defeat to Manchester City and encountered the challenge of Salah in the main position. It really sunk in for a while, and there was even the embarrassment of being substituted a few minutes before the end. After the game, Mane was very dissatisfied and went directly to Klopp to argue.
Later, Coutinho went to Barcelona, and the Red Arrow Trident of Mane, Salah and Firmino also turned out, but Mane did not regain the main position of the right winger in the end and could only go to Play as left winger. This also shows Klopp's unabashed preference for Salah. This time, faced with a choice between the two, Klopp finally chose to keep Salah, which is actually not surprising.
This summer, Liverpool sent away two substitute forwards, Origi and Takumi Minamino, and signed the 22-year-old Uruguayan center Nunez for a club record of 100 million euros. In the eyes of the fans, Nunes Niez will join forces with Diogo Jota and Luis Dias to form Liverpool's new Red Arrows trident. However, Diogo Jota fell into a slump in the second half of last season, and Luis Dias was also firmly frozen when facing veteran Carvajal's defense in the Champions League final. As for Nunez, 22 The 20-year-old boy has only played in the Spanish Second Division and the Portuguese Super League before, and has no experience of playing in the top five major leagues. It is still a bit unrealistic to expect these three to compete with Manchester City with Haaland now.
Therefore, Salah’s successful contract renewal is crucial for Liverpool to continue to maintain strong competitiveness next season.His scoring ability, post-up ability and breakthrough passing ability can play a role in teaching the three young forwards by words and deeds. By retaining him with a weekly salary of 350,000 pounds, the Red Army is equivalent to signing a world-class forward without signing this summer. It is still very cost-effective when you think about it. Next season, the red-blue competition between Liverpool and Manchester City will still be the theme of the Premier League and even the Champions League. Salah VS Haaland, just thinking about it makes me look forward to it.
