Mohamed Salah turned down the chance to pocket well more than half a billion dollars in Saudi Arabia by committing to a new contract at Liverpool.

In signing a new contract with Liverpool, Salah turned down the chance to earn significantly more money in the Saudi Pro League.

That is also a competition that Salah wants to win again with Liverpool, having previously got his hands on the trophy in 2019.

The likelihood is that the opportunity to move to Saudi Arabia will still be on the table in the future, but for now, Salah wants to continue to compete at the highest level in European soccer.

Meanwhile, Liverpool is reportedly intent on signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle this summer, despite the exorbitant fee that would be involved in getting a deal over the line

It would likely cost close to $200 million to tempt Newcastle to sell, but TBR Football says Liverpool believes Salah's new contract at Anfield could inspire Isak to want to move to Anfield.

Isak is contracted to Newcastle until 2028, but the Magpies are keen to reward the Sweden international with an improved deal that reflects his standing in the squad

Newcastle is reportedly willing to break its wage structure in order to tie Isak to a new deal
