Several European clubs were eager to secure the 32-year-old’s services this summer, while Saudi Pro League sides remained a persistent option, presenting the allure of unprecedented financial rewards.

Egyptian journalist Ismael Mahmoud previously revealed that Salah could have earned an annual salary of €150 million (£128.5 million) had he moved to Saudi Arabia—equivalent to approximately £2.5 million per week.

This figure surpasses his reported £350,000 weekly wages at Liverpool by more than sevenfold.

I have played eight years here; hopefully it's going to be 10. I'm enjoying my life here, enjoying my football. I have had the best years of my career here.
