Reports has it that Italian giants Juventus, have opened preliminary talks Mohamed Salah’s agents to obtain information on his availability, but the deal remains complicated mainly due to financial reasons.
The striker is one of Juventus’ primary targets to replace Paulo Dybala who will leave the Bianconeri at the end of his contract in June.
Th Egypt international’s contract with Liverpool expires after his season by June and talks to extend the contract proved abortive. Juventus have made contact with the winger’s representatives to sound out his availability in the summer.
Football Italia reported that Salah earns €11m at Anfield and Juventus may not afford a similar fee even by using the growth decree, which would allow the Old Lady to get a tax discount on the gross salary of the player who would return to Italy after five years
Matthijs de Ligt is the highest earner at Juventus with an €8m-a-year salary plus €4m add-ons, followed by Dusan Vlahovic, who gets €7m per season. That is the maximum salary Juventus can offer to new signings. The Bianconeri are looking to lower their wage bill and although the growth decree may allow the Serie A giants to save on Salah’s gross wages, it may still not be enough to reach the current figures in his Liverpool contract.”
