A majority of Liverpool fans had the same thing to say concerning Mohammed Salah’s new deal at Liverpool.

Salah, 30, finally put speculation about his future to bed after he committed his future to the Reds with a new three-year deal.

The new contract will see the Egyptian earn a whopping £350,000 a week, making him the highest earner in the club’s history.

When Aubameyang signed a mega-money deal to stay at the Emirates, his form took a spectacular dip ever since, and he eventually fell out with Mikel Arteta.

The Gabon international, would go on to score a mere 13 goals in the next season and a half since signing the new deal, and was eventually booted to Barcelona.

Fans’ reaction

Here is what some fans had to say after Salah’s new deal:

"Let's hope Salah doesn't do an Auba on us after this new deal,"

"Great news about his contract, but I bet he's gonna flop like Aubameyang now."

"Imagine if Salah does an Ozil and an Auba after getting the new deal haha."

"Salah’s held Liverpool to ransom. They should have given him a new contract 2 years ago. Now they’ll be paying a 33yr-old £350k+ a week. There’s every chance he stops playing now its his last deal à la Auba/Alexis/Ozil."
