The world transfer market brought the most important media news of this winter, with the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo to Saudi Arabian football to join Al Nassr for 200 million euros for each year of stay at the club that from today starts as a favourite to win the next AFC Champions League. Separating the money from the footballing level, Mohamed Salah made a huge gesture of humility that millions praised over what Ronaldo did.

For the Egypt and Liverpool superstar, this is a very special time of year, in the words of Mo Salah, "it's a time to be with family and loved ones", and one thing the 30-year-old striker is well aware of is helping those who need it most. In conjunction with the Reds and backyard rivals Everton, a visit was organised to a children's hospital in Merseyside where they shared a great time and gave gifts to all the children.

Actions like this make Salah a great legend on and off the pitch, as it was he himself who volunteered to participate in these activities that the Reds organise together with different organisations and foundations for those who need it most. Salah was accompanied by Joel Matip, Curtis Jones, Joe Gomez and other first team stars who undoubtedly went viral in this time of peace, love and good health for all.

Obviously on the other side of the coin are the players who prefer the life of luxury, such as driving around in a £250,000 Rolls Royce, as stated by Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, who also assured that CR7 will be the highest paid player in the history of football, considering that he will receive 16.6 million European currency per month, surpassing the figures that existed until now.

Salah always shows humility

So in football, opinions are divided between players who are making their mark on their careers on and off the pitch. For now, the Reds will have to focus on the next Premier League clash in London against Brentford in matchday 19. The pundits are predicting that this could be Klopp's side's fifth consecutive win, which would give them hope of snatching fifth place from Manchester United in the league table.
