Mohamed Salah’s lawyer and adviser has indicated that the Liverpool star could be be earning a mammoth amount in total income, according to The Guardian. 

Rammy Abbas Issa reportedly told a Harvard Business School (HBS) study that the staggering sum would be a ‘conservative’ expectation for the Egyptian star.

Issa also opened up on how close Salah came to leaving the Premier League giants before committing his future to the club by signing a new three-year deal. 

Issa has now revealed that Salah’s new contract, combined with third-party endorsement deals, will see him earn £1million-per-week.

However, Issa has revealed how close Salah came to walking away from Anfield after discussions with the Premier League giants had ‘broken down entirely’.

According to The Guardian, Issa said: ‘When you have put your requests on the table and you don’t get anything you’ve asked for, you have to start thinking about parting ways.’

Meanwhile, Salah – who was quoted as though he was speaking at the time of negotiations – said he started to see things ‘differently’ after Liverpool rejected all of his requests.  

He said: ‘I have been positive about the negotiations from the beginning but now that Ramy told me they have not agreed to anything we wanted, I see things differently. I feel like the club wants me to stay, and I want to stay, but it’s hard to get a deal done.’ 

The Harvard Business School (HBS) study also discussed the moment Issa made the ‘final’, make-or-break offer to Liverpool.  

Speaking about the final counter offer, Abbas – who was quotes as though he was talking at the time of the negotiations – said: ‘We are still very far apart.

‘Mohamed isn’t going to throw away his contract because of a 5 per cent difference in what we are asking for and what they are willing to give – it is much more than that.’

He went on to add: ‘If we find a way to get Liverpool to agree to the salary we have in mind and if Mohamed performs at a level he has achieved in the past seasons… we conservatively expect the total amount received by Mohamed and the image rights companies over the next few years from both his playing contract and his image rights contracts to be somewhere between €54m (£46.8m) and €62m (£53.7m) per year.’

At the time, Salah said renewing his deal with Jurgen Klopp’s side would ‘be one of the biggest milestones’ of his career

Salah (pictured during a Pepsi advert) is said to be earning additional income from third-party endorsement deals with the likes of Pepsi, Gucci and Adidas 

Meanwhile, Salah – speaking at the time of negotiations – said: ‘Renewing at Liverpool would be one of the biggest milestones of my career.

‘But we have to do this the right way. I’ve learned throughout my career that if you want to be successful, it is important to invest in yourself not just physically but also mentally. That is true on the field, but also off the field. You have to control your emotions and be ready for the pressure.’ 

The report does not confirm the final terms of the deal, however, the Guardian claims Salah is earning additional income from third-party endorsement deals.

At the time of the negotiations, the Egyptian forward was supported by Adidas as well as Gucci and PepsiCo.
