Mohamed Salah's 20th Liverpool goal has reportedly hit the Reds in the pocket to the tune of £1.3m.

The Egypt winger has been a revelation since completing his club-record £36.9m switch from Roma in June, rattling in 20 goals before Christmas - and he currently sits top of the Premier League's scoring charts with 14.

The deal to take Salah to Anfield back in the summer eclipsed the £35m club record paid by the Reds to land Andy Carroll in January 2011, but Liverpool also agreed add-ons to take the fee past the £40m barrier with Roma.

Salah's 20th goal of the campaign, which was scored in Sunday's 4-0 win over Bournemouth, will cost the Reds £1.3m, according to reports in Egypt.

Salah's former club Roma are due to a £1.3m windfall following Salah's milestone strike, report the Egypt Independent, meaning the forward's total transfer fee is now up to around £38.2m.

Roma, a publicly-listed company, were bound to reveal the details of the Salah transfer in June, despite Liverpool choosing to keep the sum undisclosed.

And the Italians' statement revealed that Salah's eventual fee could rise to as much as £44m .

It read: "AS Roma announces that it has signed with the Liverpool Football Club and Athletic Grounds Limited the contract for the final sale of football player rights to football player Mohamed Salah Ghaly, against a fixed fee of 42 million euros, plus a maximum of 8 million euros for bonuses linked to the achievement by the English club and the player of certain sports goals."

In today's market, 42m euros is listed at around £37m, meaning Salah could eventually cost Liverpool £44.1m if the Egypt international reaches all the milestones set for him.
