The International Center for Sports Studies highlighted the list of the highest-paid players in sports stadiums, taking into account several factors and criteria that affect the selection of players and their obtaining the highest wages, such as playing minutes, the importance of matches, and frequency of participation as a main player.
Mohamed Salah is the second highest paid player in the world after Kylian Mbappe
The International Center for Sports Studies confirmed in a report that Real Madrid player Kylian Mbappé has the highest annual income among the world’s players, as the Frenchman earns 22.8 million euros annually, while his salary at the Spanish club increases by about 40% every period.
CIES added that Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool player, comes in second place behind Mbappe, with an annual value estimated at 17.9 million euros, while Jude Bellingham, the Real Madrid player, comes in third place, with a value of 17.5 million euros.
Why does Salah deserve to be the second most expensive player in the world?
Mohamed Salah deserves to be one of the most expensive players in the world due to his great achievements and inspiring story after leaving the Arab Contractors to European professionalism, overcoming many of the difficulties he faced, whether the language factor, or the professional mentality that ensures his continued presence at the top.
In his football career, Salah won 12 team titles with the clubs in which he participated, most notably the Champions League title with Liverpool in the 2018-2019 season, in addition to many other individual titles such as the Best African Footballer Award twice, Player of the Year with Liverpool three times, top scorer in the English Premier League 4 times, and top scorer in the African World Cup qualifiers once.
Salah also won the England Player of the Season award twice, and the World Player of the Year award twice as well, in addition to the FIFA Puskas Award once.
These individual and collective awards decorated Mohamed Salah’s career with clubs, in addition to his goals and major records, the most notable of which is being among the list of players who scored the most with one team in the English Premier League.
