According to The Telegraph, Roma winger Mohamed Salah is close to sealing a £35million move to Liverpool, where he will earn £90,000-a-week in wages.
The Reds saw Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane star this past season, but depth behind them was lacking – and manager Jurgen Klopp is now moving to add another attacking option.

Much of the speculation surrounding Liverpool over the past week has revolved around Roma winger Mohamed Salah, with the Reds pursuing a deal for the Egyptian international.
Now, The Telegraph report that a £35million deal for Salah is close to being agreed, with the Reds hoping that the move will be done by the end of the week.
Roma’s Mohamed Salah
It’s claimed that Liverpool are offering Salah a bumper double-your-money contract, handing him wages of £90,000-a-week – twice what he currently earns in Italy with Roma.
The move would hand Salah a return to the Premier League and another chance at success in English football, having hit two goals in just 13 appearances for Chelsea before joining Fiorentina on loan in January 2015.

A loan move to Roma followed in the summer of 2015, and he has starred in Italy, smashing 15 goals and 11 assists in Serie A this past season.
Possessing blistering pace as well as a cool head in front of goal, Salah could be a potent addition to the Liverpool attack, giving Klopp various options along his front line next season and beyond.
