Liverpool are working towards trying to convince Mohamed Salah to sign a new contract. However, they are also putting plans in place behind the scenes if they lose one of their modern greats on a free transfer at the end of the season.
Salah’s contract situation at Liverpool is a convoluted string of ego, money and the forward’s need for respect from a club who are reluctant to get trapped into an expensive contract with an ageing player.
Liverpool want to hold on to the attacker who remains confident of his abilities and is demanding a three-year deal from the club before agreeing to extend his stay at Anfield.
The Reds remain wary of giving out expensive contracts to ageing players but many feel Salah is an exception given he is still the most potent forward in their squad.
Liverpool are also actively looking for replacements and they have been pushing hard to bring in someone from Salah’s homeland to eventually succeed him at Anfield.
The club are ready to pay over the odds to secure the next Mo Salah
Omar Marmoush has been regularly watched by Liverpool this season and they have been left mightily impressed by what they have seen from the Eintracht Frankfurt striker.
The Egyptian forward has 14 goals and 10 assists in 16 appearances across all competitions this season.
Eintracht are almost certain to lose the forward but they are pushing hard to make sure that they hold on to him until at least the end of the ongoing campaign.
Liverpool have already held talks with his representatives and the forward is keen to potentially succeed Salah at Anfield.
Can you name the club Liverpool sold these players to?
Eintracht have been looking to get somewhere between €50m and €60m from his sale.
However, the Merseyside giants are prepared to pay a premium and according to Fichajes, they are ready to fork out €70m for his signature.
Liverpool are ready to pay over the odds to beat competition to the striker’s signature in the upcoming transfer windows.
The Reds are aware that several clubs will be pushing to get into the race for Marmoush and they are ready to be more proactive to get their man.
