Egyptian could define many changes for the Reds
Liverpool has a serious problem, really serious: they made eyes at that millionaire Saudi Arabian League when they helped them to make the generational change by taking Henderson, Firmino and Fabinho, but now, which seems to crave for ‘the apple of the eye’ at Anfield, they do not even want to look at them. The rumor has been around for a while but now, according to England’s Daily Mail, they have moved on to concrete action, armed with their endless wallet.
The target for 2024 is none other than Liverpool’s great striker, the owner of all records, the one who became, after the renewal he signed until 2025, the highest paid player of the institution (he earns just over 400,000 euros per week): Mohamed Salah. And to achieve this, they will put a whopping 200 million euros on the table. 200 million! It would break, with advantage the market and would be almost impossible to reject for any club, for any player.
But going for Salah will mean going for an unprecedented operation in which they know that even with all the gold in the world they will not convince Liverpool, so it is necessary to seduce, at any price, the player. What is known is that there are no limits when they crave for something or someone. And at Anfield it is clear to them that, internally, they are beginning to evaluate scenarios without their top player. That is why an old version that Real Madrid will not like is gaining momentum. It is known that Jürgen Klopp chats with some frequency, since 2018, with the ‘object of desire’ of Florentino Pérez, whom they are waiting for the next window as a free player. What if Liverpool overtakes them?
The moves at Liverpool
According to the BBC, with the generous income that the Arabs would give, the target would be none other than Kylian Mbappé, who these days has sufficiently tightened the rope with his coach Luis Enrique, a little to go preparing the exit from PSG. And the one directly affected would be none other than Luis Diaz, who occupies the left winger more comfortably than the other positions in attack, where he alternates in the trident with Nunez and Salah. A signing in that category would necessarily displace all the others, including the Colombian, Portugal’s Diogo Jota and Dutchman Cody Gakpo.
