Unexpectedly... After renewing his contract, Salah earned 400,000 per week and Van Dijk was in bad form with 350,000 per week. Liverpool lost 4 consecutive games and fell behind.

In the early morning of October 26th, in the 9th round of the Premier League, Liverpool lost 2-3 to Brentford. The team's 4-game losing streak in the Premier League has dropped to 6th place.

This season, Liverpool's two veterans, 33-year-old Salah and 34-year-old Van Dijk, have never been in satisfactory condition. Salah was unable to open up the situation on the offensive end and wasted a lot of opportunities. Van Dijk made mistakes on the defensive end from time to time. The two just completed contract extensions with Liverpool in the first half of the year.

Salah had the best performance of his career last season, contributing 34 goals and 23 assists in 52 games. Compared with last season, his performance in the new season appears even more dismal, which can be described as a cliff-like decline.

According to data from the famous financial media Capology, Salah and Van Dijk’s new contracts have weekly salaries of 400,000 pounds and 350,000 pounds respectively, leading the Liverpool team. Both have contracts until 2027.
