Mo Salah

He isn't someone who I'd be happy to lose for free though.OK, now he may be a world class talent but not as a RB
True but think about Rashford, we gave him a stupid contract for fear of losing him for nothing, players basically have clubs by the nuts these days
Mo Klopp Mo Problems
I really hope Salah isn't sold for anywhere close to the £150M that us being reported in some outlets. His current form/age is worth nowhere near that; though I see the obvious appeal to the Sauds.
£150M spent wisely could really take Liverpool to the next level.

Good news for the rest of the league, I feel. The wise move would be to sell him in the summer for the maximum fee possible and re-invest into a younger forward and possibly other areas in the squad. His value will diminish and unless he signs a new contract, he could leave on a free next summer.
I can see Trent at Real Madrid in the next couple of years.
Salah? I still think he'll leave this summer

Although this reads like he’s staying, I think the wording is interesting.
"We expect him to start and have been given no indication he wants to leave"
Sounds to me like if he is to leave, the club are making everybody aware it’s his choice. Sounds like a public negotiation .They knew standing strong last summer made the Saudi's bid more and more. So they're not going to just say they want him to go.
I don’t Salah wants to leave. I do think him and Klopp are finished obviously with the coach leaving but I wonder what would have happened if Klopp stayed. Hopefully he’s going to be rejuvenated with a new coach for a few more years.
I don’t want him to leave either. I hope you give him a massive contract.
Liverpool should cash in now with Salah best days behind him. Keeping him on would be simliar to United choosing not to sell Rooney when clearly Ferguson before retirement was giving a big hint to do so.
Amazing isn't it?
The player power in the game is something. Klopp is possibly the greatest manager there is right now. I would rate him above Pep. He is a winner and a amazing coach and Salah is still having a go at him.
I cannot imagine what the shits in United team must be doing to ETH. They must be leaving him to dry after every game. Honestly feck player power.

I can’t really see anyone splashing a big fee for Salah now, unless SA comes knocking. His best days are behind him and his wage demands will be massive.
Glad that Salah is staying. Toxic character and with such player power in play it will be difficult for Arne Slot too. IMO, he is also in decline. Good times ahead.
Poor man's Rashy
I don’t know if he’s already decided he’s leaving or what, but I have to say in the last couple of games he hasn’t exactly looked like a player who’s busting a gut for his team. It feels to me like he’s somewhat thrown in the towel.
I think I'd rather cash in personally. He's easier to replace now than he was a couple of years ago. Quite like Bowen but he'd cost a ridiculous fee. Diaz played quite well on that side. Might suit him more.
Salah believes his own hype too much.

What power does Salah have here? What did his little tantrum matter except that it creates some headlines? I don't think this is an example for it.
Easier to replace ?
He is the only player other than Halland that can produce 30 goals ..
Yeah, I'm wondering if the 'games' have just begun. Our new manager will need plenty of money to re-sculpture and the last thing we need is a dry slot.
If he can adjust his game and move centrally he could have another few seasons as a top player in the PL. It's highly unusual for a wide forward to keep producing at his age.
Chelsea would have won the league in 2014 if we had sold them Rooney, Jose wanted him badly. They would have made the CL final against that Atletico team too. That 2013/14 version of Rooney was the last vestige of him being world class and it was wasted on Moyes. Would have been worth selling.
Klopp did this with Mane but doesn’t seem to consider it with Salah
Part of me thinks LFC saying Salah will stay is an attempt to push up his price this summer, but surely the player wouldnt agree to doing this? The less his future club pay for him, the more he can pocket himself in wages/signing on fees.
He's 32 in June, keeping would be crazy considering they could likely get a large lump of cash to re-invest in the squad.

Goals are easier to replace. I'd be more concerned if/when we lose Van Dijk & Alisson.
I’d cash in if I was Liverpool.
The only question mark is whether the new boss will spend it wisely or not.

Last few Liverpool games I've watched, Diaz looks far more dangerous than Salah.
If they get any type of Saudi offer, pool and salah would be insane not to take.
Even if they mean well and the new manager sucks, the last thing a team wants is for a decorated veteran leader to sabotage a new manager.
Get him out. Get some cash. And let the new manager start creating his team. Otherwise you could have an auba/Ozil situation like Arteta and Emery had to deal with

He's in better form but his end product is nowhere near the level of Mané nevermind Salah.
I don't get some of the takes in here. He's off form but you can't replace his numbers easily, still has one of the most productive seasons out of any player in the league despite missing a good chunk through injury.
That's what we want,let them tear themselves apart
I still can't believe they didn't cash in on that Saudi offer. Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth. At the time he was still playing well, but at his age that was a chance to buy the players that are going to be the best players for the next 10 years, and they passed it up.
I'm not sure you can replace his individual output but you can probably fund a couple of signings off the back of his sale/salary that could make you better overall, Rabiot (free) & then spend heavily on someone like Kvaratskhelia. In a way it's almost better there's big name players like VVD and TAA pushing for moves and you can get huge fees in, mainly for the latter, as well as free up salaries.
Your squad is fine if you free up the colossal money that Salah and VVD are on. Probably Thiago if he ever gets fit enough to sell as well.
What exactly happened between him and Klopp? I saw they had a falling out but couldn't find any details.
Personally, Id shed Salah this summer and also look to phase out VvD for the season after that (2025-2026). I find the latter has slipped a fair bit. There are a lot of lapses now that we didn't see before.
After 7 seasons of being arguably the most consistent high-end performer in the league, I'd say he is well within his rights to have at least a little ego. That belief in himself is what has led to so many great moments. Don't get me wrong, he's not the same player he was 4 years ago, but is still more than capable of adapting his game to carry on with us for another 3 or 4 years.
I've been saying this for a while. It's a dip in form, that's all. Fans just want a shiny new toy every now and then.
From various reports it looked like Salah was a little pissed about being benched and Klopp bringing him on so late into the game, he refused his usual huggy wuggy which Klopp wasn't happy about and then he gestured to the bench and said he could go back there if he wanted to which Mo allegedly replied (according to the lip readers) "I will, I'll get a red card. After 7 years service. After 7 years!".
They tried to question him after the game and he said something like "If I speak now there will be fire".
Probably kissed and made up already.
Sell him for a good fee to Saudi if they are still interested, and use the money to rebuild. For Salah there is nothing left to play for by staying, and better make the big bucks in Saudi for his family.
You're either drunk or another delusional liverpool fan.
Literally won the PL once and he's somehow the greatest manager in the world. Jesus wept.
Salah should retire at Liverpool really. Pay him what he’s worth and coach and manage his minutes to get the best out of him for another two years. Use his next two seasons as a way to actually transition, rather than the cut and shut job they did in midfield this year. He’s still one of the best players in the world, and only 32.
‘Make the big bucks?’
He’s wealthy beyond anyone’s needs. He’s earned £100-350k for the better part of 7 seasons I think? That’s £72m if you average it out at £200k as I’m lazy with maths.
£72m. Fantasy numbers.
I think he’s more interested in winning football trophies than selling his soul to play football in fecking Saudi.
