Jamie Carragher has now elevated what he thinks Liverpool ought to settle for for Mohamed Salah. However, the previous defender continues to be satisfied the Egypt star will keep put at Anfield past the switch window.

Carragher mentioned on Sky Sports: "I want more money. I want more! I actually think Mo Salah, when you look at what Kane went for, about £100m and he's maybe a year or two younger.

"But he solely had a 12 months to go. Salah has two years to go. He takes care of himself brilliantly nicely.

"For Liverpool to sell right now, they're not going to want what he's worth - they'll want well more than that. He's probably not worth £150m if there's no Saudi Arabia situation at the moment.

"He's most likely round £100m. Why have they left it so late? If they wished him that badly and are ready to spend that a lot cash, why did not they make this bid six weeks in the past or a month in the past? They'd have had a good probability of getting him.

"Every player who is involved in negotiations or talk of moving, they can kill it straight away. They can go on their social media channels if they want to.

"His agent got here out three or 4 weeks in the past when this felt extra like a hearsay. He mentioned 'If we wished to depart, we would not have signed the contract.' But it is as much as Liverpool and as much as Salah as nicely.

"I think for any player, even for supporters who love him and adore him and don't want him to move, if that number just keeps going up and up and up there is a stage where you say 'we can't turn that down.' That's £200m.

"I do not suppose it is going to occur. Because it is come so late. If this occurred 4 to 6 weeks in the past, it may've been a toss of a coin. This places Liverpool in a scenario the place they would not be capable to change him right away. If that quantity will get too large, they could say 'OK, we'll get till January.'"
