Michael Edwards Is Prepared To Cash In On Liverpool Star Mohamed Salah And Bring In One Of The Biggest Stars As A Replacement For Mohammed Salah

Liverpool is reportedly willing to break the British transfer record in their quest for a replacement for Mohamed Salah, according to recent reports. Spanish outlet Sport indicates that Liverpool has set its sights on Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr. as a potential successor to Salah should the Egyptian forward leave Anfield. The report suggests that Liverpool, alongside Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, are prepared to offer a staggering £171 million to secure the Brazilian winger’s services.

However, Real Madrid reportedly has no intention of parting ways with Vinicius Jr. Instead, they are looking to extend his contract for an additional five years, signaling their determination to retain the talented young player.

Vinicius Jr. has enjoyed a superb season, registering 18 goals and 8 assists in 28 appearances for Real Madrid. Throughout his tenure with the Spanish giants, he has amassed a commendable record of 77 goals and 72 assists in 253 games, as per Transfermarkt.

The possibility of Liverpool selling Salah this summer looms large, especially after the club reportedly rejected a lucrative £150 million bid from Al Ittihad last year. With Salah’s contract expiring in 2025 and uncertainty surrounding Jurgen Klopp’s future, speculation suggests that the prolific forward may seek a new challenge in the upcoming transfer window.

Recent reports indicate that Liverpool’s sporting director, Michael Edwards, is prioritizing contract extensions for key players such as Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold. However, if negotiations with Salah falter, the club may opt to sell him rather than risk losing him for free next year.

Salah has once again been a standout performer for Liverpool this season, contributing an impressive tally of 22 goals and 13 assists in 34 appearances across all competitions. Since joining Liverpool, he has consistently delivered double-digit figures in both goals and assists, amassing a remarkable record of 208 goals and 89 assists in 339 games.
