I don't know how this works, but can that actually happen? Why wouldn't Chelsea have got Caicedo to do that with his Brighton contract, or Bayern for Kane, rather than pay £100 million +?
60 million would be a ridiculously low offer considering the amount of money thrown around by saudi league. Has to at least be 100 million no way pool can let him go for less than Kane. 60 million barely buys much these days
at 31, sell him for 150 immediately. Diaz is back and can do a similar job. They'd then get money to rebuild the entire team.
yeah i would be absolutely shocked if they sell salah right now. Be crazy of them to do so at this point.
Diaz is guaranteed to get injured before long, for another 5 weeks or whatever. Jota is a bit of a crock too.
short of getting Saka there’s no one out there that could like for like replace him
Yeah they will sell Salah and buy Gravenberch and Amrabat an money left over for anything else.
It's heavily frowned upon in Europe... between European clubs. Saudi Arabia don't have to play by any unwritten rule. We're in the wild west realm at the moment and nothing would be a surprise.
If he really wants out, he can't be stopped.
What to Liverpool?
I think the £240m number is Salah’s contract offer.
There’s no way Liverpool are turning down that if it was the transfer fee!
Really couldn’t care less if Liverpool get £300m for him. Their recruitment is a shambles these days and they will have to over pay and will inevitably waste the majority of it. They’re not going to replace him with anyone like his quality or output - that calibre of player isn’t going to want to go to Liverpool unless they obliterate their wage structure which will lead to more issues.
Hopefully pool force him to stay and it sours the dressing room.

True, Liverpool won't give a toss what they're paying him though, it's all about their potential fee.
Maybe this is where the money for their failed Caicedo bid came from...
I think they should keep him.
Only so they don't get a bag of money to reinvest in midfield and defence. I'd prefer he stay there, even if he were to Bogarde his way through that big new deal.

Isn't Al Ittihad's manager Slippy G
Liverpool should bite their hands off if they offer £100m for a 31 year old.
Liverpool can win the net transfer trophy for the next five years
They won’t get CL football without him and won’t replace him.
Imagine this will get done next summer. Even for a huge fee, Liverpool will find it hard to replace Salah let alone at such short notice.
What's this about? Sorry I'm unaware
He can't he just signed a new contract last season though he is allowed to buy out his contract but only after 2 year of signing it as he was above 28 years of age at the time of extension other wise it's 3 years after signing the contract based on Webster ruling .

He’s an honorary citizen of Chechnya and has called Chechen warlord Kadyrov a personal friend of his.
As far as I’m concerned, he never did or said anything to rescind his support for Putin‘s best known puppet. Even before the Ukraine war, Kadyrov was a despicable person responsible for quite a few atrocities, often targeting gay men.
If they offered 240m for him FSG would roll out the red carpet
The season would be a battle for top 4 with or without him, it just becomes a more uphill battle if he goes. If we are thinking long-term it's the perfect play to let him leave right now.
The bolded part is laughable and other than that, you do realize that we could still sign a player in the future who develops into a Salah, rather than sign his "calibre of player" which has never been our MO anyway, right?
I think you'll be comfortably top 4 with him, I actually think you'll piece together a title challenge this season with him. Without, it's a real battle for top 4.
It's because their players are actually good. We have Mctominay, Maguire and Martial and unfortunately nobody wants shit players, not even the Saudi league
Comfortable top 4 finish with him vs battle for top 4 without him, I'll take that difference for one season to be honest. It would be a whole different story if we were a certified, legit contender and looking like we would be rivaling City in the league, going from title contenders to top 4 contenders is a bigger blow imo. And we don't even have a shot at the CL this year so that's nothing to worry about either if he leaves. We would also miss him for the entirety of January as well this season due to AFCON duties if I'm not mistaken.
To me it's the right timing for all parties involved, but I can imagine Klopp would veto a move at this moment in time, this late into the window.
Don't know why that escaped me! Too giddy at the prospect of him jumping ship!
From all the sources and research I've gone through he hasn't once called him his personal friend at all., Sounds made up, Would appreciate a link if I'm wrong though.
He was made an honourary citizen, he didn't ask to be one. He was made to sit beside him as his national team chose to meet him. Not much else .
How many elite years do you believe he has left in him? Or a better way to phrase it: How much longer do you think he'll be worth his wage?
I'd rather be one year too early to sell him than one year too late, especially if it's for £150m, let me put it that way.
If he were to stay at Liverpool, I could see him scoring 20+ goals this season and next. So a potential decline kicking in as from the 25/26 season when he's 33, not sure how long he'll have left on his contract.
But I'd imagine the Saudis will be back in for him next season if they're already interested right now, so we'll see.
Without Salah, Klopp's true managerial ability would be exposed...
Sakas not really like for like. Salahs got them 30 goals a season for years now
Obviously won’t go this summer but I think they’ll do a deal with him to go next summer.
Are you sure that’s the case? As in Liverpool couldn’t just enforce the contract ie refuse it even if Salah “tried” buying himself out of it? That’s how I’d have thought it works - you can only buy yourself out of a contract if there’s an agreement to do so, or a specified release clause.
The Saudis will present this problem time and again for the top teams in the league with recognised special talent. To cash in early, or hold on that bit longer, hoping the player's body holds up. I think we'll have this with Varane and Casemiro in the very near future, too.
I suppose a question to ask is how much of a hole does that one player leave behind themselves. It's not just Salah's raw output to consider; there's the fear factor he puts into the opposition and the morale boost and confidence into your whole club - he's your ace up the sleeve, you lose a hell of a lot without him... on the other hand, £150m or whatever he'd go for is a lot of money.
This post covers it:
I know there are a lot of unwritten agreements that were made between clubs from the moment the Bosman ruling came to pass.
Im not sure about that. Let’s not forget Klopp made Salah what he is. When Liverpool bought Salah, it wasn’t even a certainty he would be a regular starter.
