Sports lawyer Daniel Geey has shed light on the "cynical" rationale behind Liverpool potentially cutting ties with Mohamed Salah as he approaches the end of his contract.
Despite a stellar season at 32, Salah's future at Anfield is uncertain with his current deal expiring and no progress on renewal talks.
The Egyptian forward is Liverpool's highest-paid player, raking in £350,000 ($440,000) weekly, yet an extension seems elusive.
The situation grows more complex as Liverpool stalwarts Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold also face contract uncertainties.
Despite their pivotal roles in Liverpool's pursuit of Premier League glory, Geey pointed out a hidden concern during a discussion with Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher on The Overlap Fan Debate.
"Liverpool have been paying these three players at an undervalue for the last 18 months or so," he said.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is also in the final five months of his Liverpool contract.

Still, there's a glimmer of rationale to be found in the argument, particularly when you consider Alexander-Arnold's younger years positioning him favorably for a new deal, unlike Van Dijk on his £220,000 ($277,000) per week wage which might present a savvier bet financially compared to Salah's demands.
With Salah still hitting peak form as he nears his 33rd birthday this June, he's showcasing the kind of endurance that hints at several more years at the top level
