He snubbed a lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League after Liverpool rejected a £150 million from Al-Ittihad in the summer of 2023 before Jurgen Klopp left.
According to The Sun UK, his new contract is worth £400,000 per week, a £50,000 raise from his previous salary which was set to expire in the summer.
Salah rocks Richard Mille watch
Eagle-eyed fans spotted the wristwatch the Egyptian international wore during the contract signing and it is the rare Richard Mille RM 17-02 Tourbillon.
According to Watch King NYC, it costs a staggering $949,999 while some other stores quoted it for as low as $715,000, making it an expensive luxury watch.
According to SportBible, it is available for sale in only 20 countries, with the only one outlet in the United Kingdom located in London, making it a rare piece.
Fans were in disbelief at the cost of the the watch, questioning what the watches do differently to basic watches to have cost a figure more than buying a house.
Clarifications across multiple sources put the expensiveness of the watches to the production costs and efforts.
RM 17-02 uses TZP ceramic and grade 5 titanium, which are tough to work with but super durable. The complex tourbillon movement needs precise engineering, and very few are made yearly, so they’re exclusive and collectible.
