I'd be gutted if Salah left, but to be fair there are viable players out there who could replace him. Especially as we'd get well over £100m for him now.

My main concern would be losing Firmino. The only player in Europe as good as Firmino at what he does is Luis Suarez. For obvious reasons, that is an absolute non starter.

Really disappointed in Salah to sound out Madrid after less than half a season, but i think/ hope he'll be here for at least 2 years before he really starts to kick up a fuss. Who knows, if we start winning trophies he may stay longer.

Just don't let our Bobby go!

Sorry MK but has he said something? Know there was some coverage and the Egyptian national team boss mentioned it (whilst saying he's in an amazing position where he is now), but what has Salah said to make you think he's 'sounding out' Madrid?

MK interested to hear who you think are the viable players mate. That's not me questioning you. I am just generally interested in your thoughts 👍.

Hjikle, Eds confirmed it on here. The post was taken down most likely due to abuse though.

To answer your question though Jayden, Salah is basically playing as a striker for us. Whenever we are defending he is always left up top on the last man. We would just need to sign a pacey goal scorer. I see no reason why a player like Werner, Aubameyang, Bale, Lewandowski, Cavani, Icardi, Mertens, Sanchez etc couldn't come in and replace him. With the prospect of both Coutinho and Salah leaving we would have an embarassment of riches available. In a couple of games this season, Salah has officially played up front with Firmino just off him. I'm officially, he has been our main striker for most of the season though. Our front 3 is fluid and Salah just naturally takes up positions that strikers tend to play in.

My personal choice, although not at Salah's level yet, would be Richarlison of Watford. He wouldn't even require a slight change in the system. Plus i could see him linking up with Firmino fantastically.

With the form that Salah has shown for Liverpool i can't think of too many players that would step into his boots.

Im doubting most if not all of the above MK are out of reach for us mate. let's hope Madrid get the first choice winger targets Hazard and Neymar meaning Salah stays with us.

Mk I see what you mean and I agree when Salah, Mane and Bobby play in the front 3 they just interchange seemlessly. When Coutinho plays there he offers something a little bit different from the others but lack their pace. Out of all the players you have named they are of some quality but I have to agree that the majority would probably not come to us especially if we were shouwing a lack of ambition by selling 2 of our best players to bring them in.

Let's hope so Kloppsreds.

Though i don't see why any of those players wouldn't sign for us. Only Bale, Cavani and Lewandowski play for big hitters who win trophies regularly. Cavani has fallen out with Neymar though and Bale is available too. Plus Lewandowski loved playing under Klopp.

All the others i posted play for teams at a similar or lower level than us though so you have to say, if we put the right offer forward, anything could happen.

Either way, their are lots of goal scorers about. However the false 9/ second striker role is very specialist. After Suarez and Firmino you take a massive step down in quality to the likes of Okazaki, Gotze, Rooney etc. That is why I'd be more worried about losing Firmino than Salah. Hopefully this all blows over, we win the Champions League, and Salah stays put though! 😂

Salah is in great form, but Cavani, Immobile, Lewandowski and Aubameyang are statistically the best goal scorers in Europe right now and at least one of them is openly available.

no chance Lewandowski will play for us with Klopp as manager.

Mks I'm not having a go pal as I enjoy reading your posts but why would bale, cavani, icardi Sanchez ect come to Liverpool especially if we sell world class players such as coutinho and salah in Jan or the summer. I don't think we would be appealing to any of those guys unfortunately until we stop selling our best players and start winning trophies. Listen I understand coutinho is as good as gone but there should be two world class players to replace him pal not just one. And I'm not saying like for like replacements. I posted awhile back if we sold coutinho for x amount and bought oblak (just and example and a daydream) and vvd I think that would overall improve the team but in my eyes we are still 5 players off from winning the league.

MK, chill out, man. Salah is going nowhere.
