With his contract nearing its end and ongoing rumors linking him to the Saudi Pro League, the club is preparing for a potential life without their star forward.
Salah has been pivotal for Liverpool this season, helping them maintain top positions in both the Premier League and the Champions League. However, with his contract set to expire next summer and no extension discussions yet, Liverpool is aware of the delicate situation.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that the club is already exploring possible replacements for the Egyptian winger. “Liverpool understands that Salah’s contract status puts them in a tough spot,” Romano said. “If he leaves, they are assessing potential replacements who can match his high standards.”
Among the players under consideration are Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sané and Wolfsburg’s Omar Marmoush. Romano mentioned that Marmoush, an Egyptian like Salah, was initially seen as a direct replacement.
However, Sané has recently become a strong contender. “Sané brings the experience and versatility Liverpool is seeking. While no official talks have taken place with Bayern yet, Liverpool is closely monitoring the situation,” Romano added, noting that Sané could be available for a relatively low transfer fee, making him an attractive option.
With the January transfer window approaching, Liverpool is facing a race against time to secure clarity on Salah’s situation. Romano emphasized that the final decision may depend on whether Bayern Munich is willing to let Sané go.
Despite the speculation, retaining Salah is Liverpool’s top priority. His goal-scoring prowess, ability to perform in big matches, and creativity make him irreplaceable.
However, if the club cannot meet his contract demands, fans will be left to see if Sané or Marmoush can fill the massive void left by one of the club’s greatest ever players. For now, Liverpool must carefully balance keeping their star satisfied while planning for a future that may no longer include him.
