Liverpool has taken a decisive step by establishing a “minimum price” for their prized forward, Mohamed Salah, amidst swirling rumors hinting at a potential move to Saudi Arabia in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The impending departure of Jurgen Klopp, set for this summer, has cast a shadow of uncertainty over Anfield, with speculation rife regarding Salah’s future at the club.
Notably, during the previous summer transfer window, Al-Ittihad tabled a substantial €150m bid for Salah, which was promptly rebuffed by Liverpool. Reports indicated the possibility of the bid being raised to €200m before the window slammed shut. However, the situation has evolved since then.
Former CEO of Aston Villa and Everton, Keith Wyness, has boldly claimed that Salah is destined for Saudi Arabia. However, the intricacies of this potential move hinge heavily upon Liverpool’s evaluation of both managerial and squad dynamics under the stewardship of new leadership.
According to reports from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool is open to parting ways with Salah for a fee exceeding £100m this summer, setting a definitive “minimum price” for any potential suitors. Furthermore, there are murmurs within the footballing circles suggesting that Liverpool might consider offers for Luis Diaz should they secure a new contract agreement with Salah.
Yet, amidst these swirling speculations, renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano underscores the fluidity of Liverpool’s transfer strategy. With the primary focus shifting towards the appointment of a new director and manager, the club finds itself at a crucial juncture in its restructuring process.
Liverpool’s final attempt to convince Michael Edwards, their former sporting director, to reconsider his decision and return to the fold remains on the table. However, should this endeavor prove unsuccessful, the club is prepared to forge ahead with its plans to revamp the board and install a new director of football to steer them into the future.
