Liverpool Rejects All Offers for Mohamed Salah: A New Era Without Klopp Begins
Liverpool, aiming to remain competitive in the Premier League for the new season, has decided not to sell their Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, despite numerous enticing offers. Following the departure of Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool has entered a new era, with Salah staying put and high offers from the Saudi Pro League being turned down.
Salah’s Decision Point
Having spent successful years at the club, Salah is entering the final season of his contract. At this crucial juncture, the Egyptian star must decide whether to sign a new contract with Liverpool or leave on a free transfer next summer. Former Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, speaking to 888sport, emphasized that Salah staying at Liverpool despite offers of 100 million euros is a positive sign for the team.
At Least 150 Million Euros
Heskey stated, “How can you replace a player who scores over 20 goals? If you can maintain that level, you keep him. There’s a risk of losing him for free, but it doesn’t make sense to replace someone who scores that many goals with money. If it were 150 million euros, I’d accept it. But there’s still the risk of not getting what you want. You can’t replace him. He’s a guaranteed goal scorer. It’s a tough decision because there’s a risk of making the wrong choice,” highlighting the importance of keeping Salah in the squad.
Support Needed from Teammates
If Salah plans to stay at Liverpool, he will need support from his teammates to remain competitive in the 2024-25 season. Heskey pointed out that Darwin Nunez needs to contribute more goals, stating, “Nunez needs to contribute more. It doesn’t have to be 20 goals, but he should be someone who scores 15-20 goals. Maybe a midfielder should reach this number too. Dominik Szoboszlai seems to have this potential.”
A New Era Without Klopp
Heskey also assessed the expectations for Arne Slot’s first season at Liverpool, saying, “As a Liverpool fan, what’s important to me is not to collapse. Finishing in the top four, seeing the philosophy. Klopp is no longer here, it’s a complete change. Seeing the philosophy is important. Finishing in the top four would be a success for me.” In this new era following Klopp’s departure, how Liverpool will perform remains a point of curiosity. Fans believe that under Salah’s leadership and Slot’s management, the team will aim for the top once again.
