MOHAMED Salah has scored big – after banking a £45million bonanza from sponsorship deals and image rights.
The Liverpool legend – this week linked with a mega bucks deal to join the Saudi Pro League – earned £8million last season alone as the Anfield club lifted the Premier League title.
That is more than £150,000-PER-WEEK in off-field earnings, in addition to his £400,000-per-week salary.
It also represents a £5million increase compared to the previous season.
The Egyptian saw his earnings soar after banking millions in bonuses for leading Liverpool to the title last season, scoring 29 goals in the Premier League, plus 18 assists.
Latest paperwork for Salah UK Commercial, shows the legend has assets in the firm worth £44,557,359.

The 33-year-old paid out £1.5million in tax and VAT.
Salah opened his firm in 2014, while playing for Chelsea.
Adidas, Pepsi, Vodafone, Uber and Oppo are among the brands with which he has lucrative links.
Salah’s earnings could take a sharp upturn if he agrees a deal to join Saudi outfit Al-Ittihad, three years after initially turning the move down.
The Egyptian winger was the subject of a £150million bid from Saudi outfit Al-Ittihad in the summer of 2023.
Salah, who arrived at Anfield in the summer of 2017, turned down the approaches at the time, choosing to continue to build his Premier League legacy with Liverpool.
But now things have changed, according to reports, which claim the star has given his agent the green light to negotiate with the club.
Salah was also tipped for a move away from Anfield last summer, before signing a two-year £42million extension to keep him in the North West until 2027.
The contract means that Al-Ittihad will still have to fork out the cash for the ace regardless of his position on the transfer.
Salah’s future became a talking point last December when the winger had a high-profile falling-out with manager Arne Slot.
He went on a rant aimed at the club after being left on the bench for Liverpool’s clash with Leeds, and accused the club of “throwing him under the bus.”
He complained: “I said many times before I had a good relationship with the manager and all of a sudden we don’t have any relationship. I don’t know why.
“It’s not acceptable for me. I don’t know why that happened always to me, I don’t get it. If I was somewhere else, the club will protect its player.
“I don’t know why I’m in that situation now but again it’s how I see it.” Salah added: “It seems like the club is throwing me under the bus. That’s how I feel.”
The bad blood seemed to have fizzled out by the time the attacker returned from his AFCON campaign with Egypt.
On Wednesday Arne Slot praised Salah after the “unbelievable” winger equalled Liverpool’s record for assists in the Premier League by setting up Virgil van Dijk‘s winner in their 1-0 victory at Sunderland.
Salah’s latest assist in his glittering Liverpool career took him to 92 – level with Anfield icon Steven Gerrard.
