Speculation suggests that Salah could be tempted to make the move, with several offers expected to be tabled for him. Ex-Liverpool star Glen Johnson believes that Liverpool should consider parting ways with Salah this summer as they may already have his replacement, Harvey Elliott, on the team.
With Jurgen Klopp leaving at the end of the season and Salah entering the final year of his contract, it is seen as an opportunity for an amicable departure that ensures a fair fee for Liverpool. Johnson suggests that a bid in the region of £70 million for the 31-year-old would be sensible, as it could allow the club to invest in the squad for the upcoming season.
He emphasizes the importance of not letting Salah leave for free and acknowledges that while it would be heartbreaking to see Salah go, it may be the best decision for the club. Several potential replacements for Salah have been linked, including Donyell Malen, Jarrod Bowen, and Leroy Sane.
Johnson points out that while it may not be possible to directly replace Salah’s impact, it is important for the club to move on and find the next best solution. In this context, Johnson believes that Harvey Elliott, though not likely to score as many goals as Salah, could still be a valuable asset and provide support for another player to achieve the same level of performance.
