🔥🔥BREAKING NEWS: Coming live from Anfield, “It’s hard to believe he’ll be leaving Liverpool next season, but there’s no need to panic. I spoke with him, and he’s open to joining the Reds. Liverpool must act fast—this guy is a goal machine, an assist king, and honestly, he’s even better than Salah. The future is bright if Liverpool make this move.” He is a brilliant player-Michael Owen believes PL star would be ideal replacement for Mo Salah at Liverpool if he leaves.

Michael Owen suggests that Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo would be an ideal replacement for Mohamed Salah if the Egyptian star departs Liverpool this summer. Despite Salah’s exceptional goal-scoring form, uncertainty surrounds the 32-year-old’s future at the club, as he has yet to agree to a contract extension at Anfield.

With Salah now in the final six months of his deal, speculation about his next move has intensified. Reports indicate that Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal is preparing a lucrative two-year offer worth £65 million to secure his services on a free transfer. In light of these developments, Owen has emphasized Liverpool’s need to prepare for Salah’s potential exit. Speaking to Premier League Productions (via GOAL), he highlighted Semenyo as a suitable successor:

“He’s a brilliant player who scores goals. Whether Salah stays or leaves, I believe Semenyo could be the right replacement.”

The 25-year-old Semenyo has had an impressive season, contributing seven goals and three assists in 22 games. However, his numbers remain far below Salah’s, who has recorded 21 goals and 17 assists in just 29 appearances.

Salah Acknowledges Slow Progress in Contract Talks

Salah has openly discussed the lack of progress on his contract extension. Back in November, he revealed to the BBC:

“We’re almost in December, and I haven’t received any offers to stay. Right now, it looks like I’m more out than in.”

More recently, he told Sky Sports:

“There’s been no progress. This could very well be my last six months with Liverpool.”

Liverpool face a challenging situation, with the contracts of three key players—Salah, captain Virgil van Dijk, and vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold—set to expire within six months. Speculation has linked Alexander-Arnold with a potential move to Real Madrid, leaving the Reds with significant decisions to make regar

ding their squad.
