Amid the rumors, former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes Bayern Munich could attempt to bring Salah to Germany if his contract situation remains unresolved.
“If Liverpool don’t offer him a contract, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Mohamed Salah end up at Bayern Munich,” Hamann said (h/tThe Mirror). “At the moment, they’ve got wingers who haven’t really set the world alight on the pitch. I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to bring him in. They won’t be the only club either.”
