When asked by Football Insider if the Reds were right to reward the forward with such wages, Campbell said: “100 per cent.
“There is no doubt about it.
“You could say that there has been no better player in the world than him over the past 12 months. For three-quarters of last season he was untouchable. Let’s be honest, he was untouchable.
“He just keeps improving. Fair enough, he is 30 but he does not play like he is slowing down. He plays like he is on warp speed. The guy is incredible.
“Liverpool were always going to push the chips his way after [Sadio] Mane left. I think it is right. He deserves it.
“He has been incredible for Liverpool. It was one or the other as to who got the big contract. Salah has been so instrumental.
“I think it is a really good bit of business from Liverpool.”
