Mohamed Salah, a forward for Liverpool, has been strongly linked to leaving Anfield.The forward for Liverpool, Mohamed Salah, has been strongly linked to a move to Saudi Arabia in recent months. Dharmesh Sheth, a Sky Sports reporter, gave GIVEMESPORT an internal update on Salah’s future at Anfield.
With Salah continuing to play at his best while also entering the later phases of his career, the Reds are in a difficult situation. He has a limited amount of time left on his contract, so the amount they could get from a Saudi Pro League team is probably enormous.
It was possible for Mohamed Salah to leave in the summer.
Over the past few years, the Saudi Pro League has grown in popularity among European players, drawing players like Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo, N’Golo Kante, and Karim Benzema to the Middle East to take advantage of the wealth available. Teams in the league were quite successful in persuading players to switch, but Liverpool prevented Salah from doing so.
In an astonishing attempt to entice the former Chelsea winger to Saudi Arabia during the summer transfer window, Al-Ittihad offered a staggering £150 million to try and wrangle him away from Anfield. Naturally, the Merseyside club refused to lose one of the greatest players in their history, but he will have the option to not sign a new contract if he so chooses. His contract expires in 2025. In order to keep him from leaving on a free transfer, Liverpool might have to make a big purchase next summer.
It’s known that Saudi Arabian teams are still hoping to sign Salah and will keep trying to see how strong Liverpool is. Given the sizeable fee they are expected to receive, will the Reds give in and let him go?
Salah might find it difficult to refuse the money that Saudi Arabia is offering, particularly if it allows him to leave Liverpool for nothing. Given that the former Roma man might not have much longer in his career, making as much money as he can over the next few years could help secure a bright future for his family.
Sheth has indicated that the league’s top goal is to sign Salah, and Saudi Arabia is still interested in making an offer. According to the Sky Sports reporter, Liverpool won’t consider any bids during the January transfer window, and if they had their way, they wouldn’t be dealing with Salah at all. Sheth said in an interview with GIVEMESPORT…
After the summer, he still has one year left on his contract. I do not see Mohamed Salah and Liverpool working together in January. They wouldn’t be doing any business with Mohamed Salah at all if they had their way. Al-Ittihad and the Saudi Pro League will continue to pursue Mohamed Salah in spite of this. There is no denying that he is their primary target. It’s comparable to the Saudi Pro League’s ideal addition. Liverpool will make every effort. Even though he is in his 30s, it seems like he is not slowing down. He simply seems to be becoming better every single day.”
It’s possible that Jurgen Klopp is already searching for a replacement.
The Merseyside club will need to get ready for Salah’s eventual departure from Anfield, whether it happens in January, the following summer, or at a later date. Since he has less than two years left on his contract, Liverpool needs to have a backup plan in case he decides not to extend his stay.
Journalist Dean Jones previously stated to GIVEMESPORT that even though Jarrod Bowen recently inked a new, long-term contract with West Ham United, Liverpool will still keep an eye on him. Liverpool has identified Leroy Sane, a winger for Bayern Munich, as a possible Salah substitute, according to the Mirror. According to the report, Klopp and his hiring team are prepared to break their transfer record in order to get him to leave the Bundesliga team.
Fans of Liverpool will surely be alarmed by the prospect of losing Salah, but there is no reason why Klopp cannot elevate another winger to the level of the greatest in the world, as he has done with the Egypt international.
