The Mirror: After the winter window, Klopp had to turn his attention to Salah's contract extension

According to the Mirror, after the winter window closed, Klopp needed to turn his attention to Salah's contract extension.

It is reported that Salah wants to become the highest paid player in the Premier League, and the introduction of Louis Díaz's £50 million has had a great impact on Liverpool's contract extension with Salah. Salah wants a four-year, £80m contract, but Liverpool have been reluctant to agree to this condition. If a deal is really made on this condition, Salah's weekly salary will reach £400,000, and Liverpool's highest-paid player now is Van Dijk's £220,000. Fans want to see Salah renewed, which could further prompt the club to agree to the player's request.

Salah has played 26 times for Liverpool so far this season, scoring 23 goals, and although his contract expires next summer, he has refused to make concessions on it.

According to the Mirror analysis, in terms of value, Klopp wants to renew Salah's contract, but things are not so easy, with Mane and Firmino both entering their 30s, Luis Dias, Elliott and Jota growing, they seem to have more hope of becoming Liverpool's new generation of attackers. The best-case scenario for Liverpool is that Salah was able to reduce his salary and contract time requirements.

It is understood that this may require Klopp to communicate privately with Salah to express that he can become a legend for Liverpool. If Salah continues to perform well in the game, he will not lower his requirements, and the team will have to pay a bigger price. £80 million is a lot of money for the club, but it's not a lot of money to sign a player who can replicate Salah's performance.
