Mohamed Salah chose his moment. On Monday, the Pharaoh formalized his departure from Liverpool following the end of his contract on June 30. After nine years of good and loyal service, the Egyptian international decided that it was time to turn this beautiful page. “Hello everyone. Unfortunately, that day has come. This is the first part of my farewell tour. I will leave Liverpool at the end of the season. I would like to start by saying that I never imagined to what extent this club, this city, these supporters would be such a part of my life. Liverpool is not just a club, it’s a history, a state of mind. I can’t find the words.”
A feeling that some of his teammates could well feel in a few weeks or even a few months. Indeed, several elements of Arne Slot’s group are not certain of remaining with the residents of Anfield this summer. THE Liverpool Echo has drawn up the list of players concerned. We thus find Ibrahima Konaté. Like Salah, the French defender arrives at a turning point in his adventure. If the LFC would like to extend it, the footballer has not yet picked up his pen to sign a new lease. Long cited on the side of Real Madrid and PSG, Konaté should leave according to the THE.
Liverpool wants to downsize dry
The English media adds that the Reds, who have already recruited Jérémy Jacquet this winter, are ready to move on. Same thing for Andy Robertson. A true idol in Liverpool, the Scot will be free this summer. The English club will not hold him back and will offer him the opportunity to leave with dignity as well as to choose his next club. Loaned to AS Roma this season, Konstantinos Tsimikas will be placed on the transfer market. Under contract until 2027, he will be invited to find a new base. Same observation for Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott (on loan to Aston Villa) and Curtis Jones, for whom Liverpool hope to earn a few million euros.
More surprisingly, Cody Gakpo is no longer considered untransferable by English leaders. The Dutchman, who is one of the club’s highest paid players, is not unanimous. The idea is to get the best price and plow the money back into a big-name winger. Finally, the media indicates that a sale of Alisson Becker, at the end of his contract in 2027, would not be wise. But in Italy, Tuttosport explains that the Reds want to recover €15 million this summer rather than letting him go free in a year. Besides Salah, 8 other Liverpool players are on the starting line this summer.
