Liverpool want to move forward. Last year, the residents of Anfield disappointed, they who finished the season in 5th place in the Premier League. Without the Champions League to play for, Liverpool, who will play the Europa League, will try to put on a much better face in the league. This, despite several departures including that of Roberto Firmino. The Brazilian went free, a year after Sadio Mané, who joined Bayern Munich.

But at the moment it has nothing to do with his future, although the player was linked with Paris Saint-Germain a few weeks ago. Indeed, tension has been rising between Liverpool and the Pharaoh in recent days.

Enough to leave the Reds orphans of their Egyptian star for several Premier League meetings if his country ever goes to the end. An absence of size for Liverpool.

Rogério Micale, at the head of Egypt’s next team for the Olympics, does not does not hide his desire to select the right winger of the Reds: “we still have a year to reflect on the matter and assess the situation, but of course we welcome Salah… Salah is as important as Neymar in Brazil”he told Egyptian television.
Bad news for Liverpool
For Liverpool, losing their best player for two competitions in the same season would be an ordeal, but the risk is very real.

Yesterday, we also revealed to you that the profile of Malcom (Zenit) pleases.
