The 2022-2023 financial year has officially started and There are many changes that will take place in European football. As the days go by, the teams will announce signings, renewals and modifications to player contracts. Mohamed Salah has been the most recent case among the great ‘cracks’ of European football, after renewing his “long-term” contract with Liverpool.
The Egyptian will receive an astronomical salary in the coming years, although Anfield have not revealed how many years the contract will last. In any case, as reported by the ‘Daily Mirror’, Mohamed Salah will enter 464,000 euros a week. He will be the fourth highest paid footballer in the world, behind Neymar Jr, Leo Messi or Kylian Mbappé.
Precisely the Parisian attacker is the leader in this ranking. After renewing his contract with Paris Saint-Germain until the summer of 2025, Mbappé will charge from this season 1,160,000 euros per week. He is the great protagonist of the new project of the French capital club, where the sports area will also have occupations, with decisions in the transfer or exit section.
In the classification continues Lionel Messi (PSG), with 1,113,000 per week. Neymar Jr is next (€703,000), although there are many doubts about the Brazilian’s future, since Qatar would prefer him to leave the Parc des Princes this summer, although – apart from Newcastle – no team could maintain his high profile. They would be looking for a new team, but it will be a very complicated operation.
Behind is the aforementioned Mohamed Salah (€464,000), Cristiano Ronaldo (€446,000), Kevin de Bruyne (€446,000), Erling Haaland (€435,000), David de Gea (€435,000), Antoine Griezmann (€413,000) and Robert Lewandowski (€406,000). The Polish is the great objective of the FC Barcelona in this summer and he would be willing to lower his claims to end up at the Spotify Camp Nou.
