Liverpool manager, Arne Slot has teased that money played a role in the Premier League retaining the services of Mohamed Salah.
Earlier on Friday, the Reds announced that the Egypt winger has signed a two-year extension at Anfield.
Salah was into the final few months of his deal before agreeing fresh terms.
The 32-year-old was set to become a free agent in June, with speculations linking him to Saudi Arabia.
When asked about the role that he played, as manager, in convincing Salah to stay put, Slot said:
"I am part of the process but I don't deserve the compliments, it's Mo, his agent and then FSG, Richard (Hughes), they all put the effort, which means money!"
After laughing at his remark, he added:
"But also effort. What it might tell you is that it is not only a good season now we want more next season and Mo is convinced we can do so. So that is positive for us."
