Liverpool attacker Mo Salah could leave the club for the Saudi Pro League in the summer transfer window.
Salah’s exit rumours began in the Autumn when he and Arne Slot fell out. However, since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, Salah has been fully integrated back into Slot’s starting XI. However, Salah’s contract at Liverpool only runs until June 2027.
If the Egyptian winger does leave in the summer, Liverpool will need to find a long-term replacement for him, as the Reds will have their ‘target man’ strikers in Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak, but will need to replace Salah for his technical ability.
