You don’t have to be a social scientist to realize that Liverpool pulled off a total heist when they bought Mohamed Salah from AS Roma this past summer for £37.8 million. Just how spectacular of a deal was it for Liverpool to invest in the Egyptian winger though?
Well according to the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES) report, the Reds forward has seen his transfer value rise by over 84% since arriving on Merseyside. In the sixth months that he’s been at Anfield, his value has increased from 88.1 million Euro to 162.8. That’s what scoring at will do!
