Mohamed Salah has been linked with a summer move away from Liverpool, with several Saudi Pro League clubs keen on signing him.
Mohamed Salah will enter the final year of his contract at the end of the season, and he has been linked with the move to the Saudi Pro League. According to Football Insider, Liverpool could be open to selling him this summer for a substantial amount of money.
The report states that Liverpool will start considering offers starting from £100 million going up to £150 million for the 31-year-old attacker. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to pay that kind of money for an attacker in the final year of the contract. In addition, Salah is in his thirties, and he is unlikely to improve any further.
With that said, Saudi Arabian clubs were very keen on him at the start of the season. The wealthy outfits have the financial muscle to pay over the odds for players, and they feel that the Liverpool star could be the ideal poster boy for the Saudi Pro League.
Mohamed Salah is an indispensable asset for Liverpool
Salah has been an outstanding servant for Liverpool, helping them in several major trophies. His departure will certainly weaken Liverpool in the attack, and it will be interesting to see if they can replace him adequately. They are already struggling to score goals consistently.
Players like Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo have struggled to score goals regularly, while Diogo Jota has had their share of injury problems. Meanwhile, the 31-year-old Egyptian is more than just a goalscorer for Liverpool. He is an elite creator, and replacing him will be quite a challenge for the Premier league club.
Liverpool will be without their charismatic manager, Jurgen Klopp, next season, and losing their best player and offensive mainstay will weaken them further. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks.
Ideally, Liverpool should look to keep him at the club for as long as possible and convince him to sign a new contract with them. If he refuses to sign an extension, they will be under pressure to sell in the summer while he still retains some value.
