Pundits Drop Summer Exit Claim on Liverpool Star Who Will Cost More Than £100m

The departure of boss Jurgen Klopp from Liverpool raises questions about its impact on the Anfield playing squad this summer. For some players, it might spark consideration of new opportunities elsewhere by July.

Klopp’s imminent exit at the end of the season leaves just seven Premier League matches under his helm for The Reds. While his successor remains undisclosed, Liverpool are still far from reaching a decision.

As Klopp gears up for departure and Liverpool vie for the title, Mo Salah’s future surprisingly hasn’t been a recent topic, despite potential interest from the Middle East.

Last summer, offers reached approximately £150m from Al-Ittihad, presenting a chance to join forces with Karim Benzema, yet Salah stayed put. However, this summer could mark a shift for the Liverpool star.

Craig Burley and Steve Nicol Describe Future of Mohamed Salah

Salah, a standout player in the League, faces uncertainty as he approaches the last year of his contract at Anfield. Klopp’s potential departure could trigger his exit, particularly if renewed Saudi interest arises in the summer.

ESPN FC pundits Craig Burley and Steve Nicol deliberated on Salah’s future. Burley highlighted his recent form dip, emphasising the urgency for him to regain top form swiftly, hinting at a potential departure in the upcoming transfer window for a staggering £150 million fee.

“He’d better hurry up, there’s only a few games before he’s off to Saudi Arabia,” Burley said. Nicol replied: “If there’s £150m in the bank, it’s acceptable. The club will always survive, not turning the lights out.”

If the opportunity arises, will Salah entertain the idea of leaving? It’s a significant question. Having achieved all there is at Anfield, his recent dip in form may hint at a potential departure. While undeniably talented, it could be time for Liverpool to capitalise on his value.

The decision might also hinge on the preferences of the incoming manager. Will they opt to retain Salah or opt for a lucrative sale? A substantial transfer kitty would offer the new manager ample resources.
