Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is reportedly being linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.
According to a report from Football Insider, Liverpool are considering a potential sale of Mohamed Salah. And they have held internal talks over selling the 30-year-old talismanic figure for a £50 million-plus fee.
Liverpool are reportedly plotting a major overhaul of their squad at the end of the season. And they know they will need to get rid of some first-team players in order to fund the incomings. Salah is undoubtedly the most valuable asset at the club right now. And the Egyptian has proven himself to be a talismanic figure over a number of seasons.
The 30-year-old has been one of the best goalscorers in the world since joining Liverpool. And he has helped them win the Premier League title and the UEFA Champions League trophy during his time at the club.
The decision to let him leave the club at the end of the season could prove to be calamitous for Liverpool. They are already struggling to fill the void left by Sadio Mane and will struggle to replace Salah as well. Salah is their most prolific scorer, and the Reds will struggle without him. They are already struggling to hit the back of the net consistently with him in the side this season.
The Egyptian is a world-class player and is unlikely to have any shortage of suitors. The player has been linked with clubs like Paris Saint-Germain in the past. Mohamed Salah recently signed a three-year extension with Liverpool and he is currently earning around £400,000 a week.
It remains to be seen whether the club hierarchy are willing to consider his departure in the summer. The decision is likely to be unpopular amongst the fans. And it will further infuriate the Liverpool faithful, who are already unhappy with the club hierarchy because of their reluctance to spend on quality players.
The report from Football Insider claims that a number of other first-team players are being considered for potential sales, including the likes of Nat Philips and Caoimhin Kelleher. Apart from them, Joel Matip might also depart for a cut-price sum in the summer. But it will be interesting to see if Salah leaves in a £50 million-plus deal.
