Sports lawyer Daniel Geey has explained the "cynical" reason why Liverpool may be wise to part ways with Mohamed Salah this summer.

He's currently far and away Liverpool's top earner on £350,000 a week, and talks of an extension don't appear to be bearing much fruit.

Not only is Salah possibly leaving, but key players Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are also faced with expiring deals as well.



And despite strong calls for contract extensions as they lead Arne Slot’s race for the Premier League crown, Geey flagged an under-the-surface issue.

It's a fascinating hypothesis that Salah - who is currently leading the Premier League Golden Boot race with 23 goals this season - has deliberately elevated his game this year.
