His contract, if finalized, will break the global record held by Cristiano Ronaldo.
A rumored offer of about $80 million has been made to Egyptian soccer superstar Mohamed Salah to entice him to spend the next two seasons in Saudi Arabia instead of Liverpool.
If he doesn't sign a new contract with the English club, the 32-year-old's season would be his last.
However, the allure of a wage that is supposedly around double what he earns at Liverpool could prove difficult to resist.
The attacker is one of three players who are reportedly thinking about leaving the Reds as the transfer market is already open.
Several media outlets have reported that Salah is negotiating a trade to the Saudi squad Al-Hilal quite seriously.
Due to Brazil's Neymar's anticipated summer departure, the team will have room in their roster to sign another foreign player.
Al-Hilal is reportedly in negotiations with Liverpool's management to buy the final six months of Salah's contract, according to other reports.
His transfer during the current winter transfer window would be made possible as a result.
