Liverpool have been asked to give Mohamed Salah a £ 500,000-a-week contract after his superb solo goal in the Reds’ 2-2 draw at home against Manchester City.
The Egyptian resisted Joan Cancelo, passed Bernardo Silva and Aymeric Laporte before shooting the ball past Ederson with his weaker right foot.

Is this Salah’s biggest goal for Liverpool?
It wasn’t enough to win the Liverpool game however
This gave Liverpool a 2-1 lead at Anfield, but Kevin De Bruyne’s curling effort, which took a notch from Joel Matip, saw both sides share the booty.
Earlier, Phil Foden’s deflected effort called off Sadio Mane’s opener in the second half.
Salah’s exploits have left Darren Bent spellbound, and the talkSPORT host has insisted the Reds need to tie their star man to a new contract.
Bent said: “This goal is extraordinary. If Messi or Ronaldo score that, we talk about it for weeks and weeks.

Salah is under contract in Liverpool until June 2023
“He’s definitely one of the two best players in the world right now.
“I would give him whatever he wants for three years… you have to give him what he wants, he’s so important.”
“I would give him £ 500,000 a week for three years.”
This is breaking news. Further updates will follow shortly.
