Liverpool know they will have to eventually replace Mohamed Salah, and the Merseyside club have identified Christian Pulisic as a possible target.
Concerns remain over the fact Mohamed Salah may well leave the club in 2025.
The 32-year-old star is in his final year under contract with the Merseyside team. As expected, the Reds pay Salah more money than any other player.
The Egyptian international rakes in an incredible $461,000 per week to play for the prestigious club.
Nevertheless, Salah is likely to receive offers, particularly from Saudi Arabia, that would see him receive a substantial pay-raise. Liverpool are not giving up on possibly re-signing the star just yet.
Salah, however, recently claimed that it was his last year at the club.
“I just want to enjoy it — I don’t want to think about it,” the Egyptian winger said earlier in the month.
New Liverpool manager Arne Slot then gave a coy response when asked about Salah, as well as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk on Friday. Like the winger, the two defenders are also out of contract with the club in June.
“I’m very happy that these players are in my team at the moment,” Slot stated. “There’s a lot of games this season and in the upcoming weeks, let’s see what happens in the future.”
Real Madrid star is reportedly Liverpool’s top summer target
With Salah’s situation very much up in the air, Liverpool is looking at potential replacements. Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo is perhaps the team’s top target to fill the void left by Salah.
After all, the Brazilian is widely seen as one of the best wingers in the world at the moment.
Rodryo’s future at Real was also seemingly in limbo after Kylian Mbappe joined the club this summer. Many assumed the Brazilian’s playing time would drastically decrease with the arrival of the Frenchman. This, however, has not yet been the case. Rodrygo has still featured in every LaLiga game so far…
