“£400,000-a-week? Look, every situation is different and separate,” Wenger said, as per Liverpool Echo.
“You have to look at the medical record of the player. Never misses a game. You would do it.
“It depends as well on the physical qualities. If he’s quick, very quick, and he loses a bit, then he is still quick.
“If he’s already limited and slow, then you wouldn’t do it.
“Mo Salah, you would do it. He is a mixture of Ronaldo and Messi. He can run with the ball and give the final ball. I think he has improved a lot in giving the final ball.
“From August up until the Africa Cup of Nations, he was certainly the best player in the world.
“I have seen him score goals this season that are exceptional. On his own as well.
“Salah and (Sadio) Mane, you wouldn’t want to lose them because they become stars with Liverpool. Part of their history now.”
