The feared front three of the Reds will all see their current deals expiring at the end of next season and the Reds are yet to make a breakthrough in negotiations with any of them.
Mills feels that Firmino and Mane will get a strong hold in discussions if the Merseysider club hand Salah the £500,000-a-week deal he is believed to be demanding.
The Reds are reportedly close to securing a new deal for their ‘Egyptian King’ and it could put them on the back foot as per the ex-Manchester City right-back.
Mills told Football Insider:
Mills claims that Salah getting a £500,000-a-week deal would completely destroy the wage structure at Anfield and other players might use it to their advantage.
He added:
As per Mills, even if Liverpool choose not to hand Salah a new deal and let him depart, the situation is unlikely to change.
Liverpool definitely have a issue to resolve and they have to do it soon
It is surprising that Liverpool did not react to the situation earlier with Firmino, Mane and Salah’s contracts expiring at the same time.
Firmino is 30 right now, while Salah and Mane are both 29, which means this could be their final chance to earn a massive new deal.
Liverpool have potentially readymade replacements for Mane and Firmino already in their ranks in Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota, whereas Salah looks irreplaceable.
We have to wait and see how Jurgen Klopp and his team sort out the situation but they should act on it soon.
