What does the future hold for Mohamed Salah? After winning the hearts of Liverpool fans over the years since his arrival in 2017 from AS Roma, the Egyptian striker is at a turning point in his adventure in England. Coming off a full season with the Reds on a personal level with 44 appearances for 25 goals and 13 assists in all competitions, the 32-year-old has just started his final year of contract with the English club. The problem is that Mohamed Salah has still not extended his lease.
On Liverpool’s side, positions remain fixed. Indeed, the Mersey club has no intention of selling the Egyptian international (100 caps, 56 goals), even in the event of an interesting offer. Successor to Jürgen Klopp on the Liverpool bench, Arne Slot is counting on the Reds’ star for the coming season and his leaders are pushing to convince him to extend his lease for fear that Saudi Arabia will reiterate its interest in Mohamed Salah. As a reminder, the Liverpool board had refused an offer of 175 million euros from Al-Ittihad last summer.
Liverpool want to go all out to get the Japanese
While his fate on the banks of the Mersey remains to be determined, Liverpool wants to anticipate the future without Mohamed Salah. In this sense, the English club would have already scanned the market in search of its heir on the front of the Reds attack and would have targeted him in Spain. According to information from the Asian media Sponichirelayed by Sky Sportsthe last 3rd of the Premier League believes that Takefusa Kubo has the ideal profile to take over from the Egyptian. Considered as one of the talents in the making when he arrived in Madrid in 2019, the Japanese striker has however had difficulty making his mark in the star-studded Madrid squad.
But after a series of more or less conclusive loans, the Samurai Blue right winger (35 caps, 4 goals) found his cruising speed in the Basque Country and has since been playing regularly with Real Sociedad. In this sense, the Japanese media specifies that Liverpool would be ready to put 65 million euros on the table, accompanied by an annual salary of 15 million euros for the “Japanese Messi”, author of 7 goals and 5 assists with the Txuri-urdinak and under contract with the Spanish team until June 2029, renowned for his vision and his ease in small spaces. A great deal to seize for Real Sociedad?
