Liverpool are currently looking for a striker to replace Mohamed Salah, who may be considering an offer from Saudi Arabia. Last summer, the Saudi league tried to tempt the Egyptian international through Al Ittihad, offering Liverpool an impressive sum of 200 million. However, Salah decided to remain loyal to the English club.
However, with the announced departure of their coach Jürgen Klopp, the situation has changed drastically. This has made Salah reconsider the tempting Saudi offer. It is rumored that Al Hilal, a team that has Neymar in its ranks, would be willing to pay 100 million in a fixed transfer, to which variable between 25 and 50 million would be added. With a year and a half left on his contract, Liverpool appear willing to not hinder Salah’s departure, especially considering that sum would allow them to search the market for a quality replacement.

Eyes on Barcelona
Liverpool are already working on possible replacements and two names that stand out on their list are Raphinha and Ansu Fati, both of whom have been linked with Barcelona. Raphinha, a talented Brazilian, has attracted interest from other clubs such as Tottenham, who have offered 70 million. This could convince Barcelona to let the player go and get a good return on investment.
As for Ansu Fati, Barcelona still have faith in the young player despite his recent hamstring injury. Liverpool are monitoring his development closely and would be willing to make a move if he shows a jump in quality. However, the Reds are aware that prying him away from Barcelona will be a challenge.
