According to Eurosport, Liverpool privately accept that Mohamed Salah could leave the club.
Described as ‘a decisive, game-changing’ player in the report, it has been claimed that Liverpool have thought for some time that Salah could be the first big star from their title-winning team to leave the Reds.
The Egypt international forward’s determination to keep proving himself as one of the best players in the world is one of the reasons Liverpool have privately accepted that he could be first big star to leave, according to the report, which has added that an exit could happen as early as the summer of 2021.
Salah suggested to AS last week that he is open to playing for Real Madrid or Barcelona, and added that his future is in the hands of the defending Premier League champions.
Potential blow for Liverpool?
Salah is one of the best attacking players in the world, and his importance in Liverpool winning the Premier League title and the Champions League over the past two seasons cannot be understated.
The 28-year-old scores goals, creates chances, and weaves moments of magic.
True, Liverpool signed Diogo Jota from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer of 2020, but the Portuguese is still a work in process, while Salah is the finished article and is at the top of his game.
Salah has scored 13 goals and provided three assists in the Premier League so far this season, while during the 2019-20 campaign, he scored 19 goals and gave 10 assists in the league, according to WhoScored.
Meanwhile, The Guardian has reported that Barcelona want to sign Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum on a free transfer in the summer of 2021.
