Mohamed Salah looked more like himself in Liverpool’s most recent outing, but Tim Sherwood doesn’t think it changes his summer fate.
Ever since the Egyptian returned from AFCON, there has been no cessation in the speculation around his future at Liverpool past the end of the season.
Salah is in talks with Al-Ittihad — likely other Saudi clubs as well — and is reportedly more open than ever to a departure.
As for the fans, opinion is split between those who are ready to part ways and those who think he still has another season in him.
Is Mohamed Salah about to make his doubters look REALLY stupid?
What has changed with his recent performances?

Tim Sherwood is sure Liverpool will sell Mo Salah
Regardless of how much Salah has done for Liverpool, no player is indispensable.
If offers come in that can give FSG a cash windfall, it makes sense to cash in on the 34-year-old.

That’s what Sherwood predicts, as he laid out on Sky Sports on Monday.
“We have to thank Mo Salah for the time he has given to the Premier League,” Sherwood says. “In an era where there’s not a great deal of world-class players, he’s certainly been one.

“In my opinion, I think he 100% leaves that club and he gets a fantastic ovation at the end of the season, whether that’s with a bit of silverware or not. He deserves silverware, he certainly does, but whatever happens, he’s been a magnificent servant to the club.”
No disagreements with the importance of Salah, and to be frank, no disagreements with his prediction either.
Liverpool are acting like Salah is leaving
From all the transfer talk we have been hearing since the close of the January window, Liverpool are focusing their recruitment efforts on bringing an elite winger to Anfield.
Michael Olise is Liverpool’s ideal choice, though luring him back to England seems unlikely.

The other options, Yan Diomande and Bradley Barcola, are also being looked at seriously.
Either of them would go some way to filling the Salah void, though let’s be honest, no one will replace him in a tangible sense.
His output for Liverpool was ridiculous. It will be sad to see him go, but that seems the direction of travel.
