Liverpool’s €140m Ambition Signals Life After Salah Could Start Soon

Slot’s Liverpool Set Sights on Major Reinforcement

Change is rarely gentle at a club of Liverpool’s stature, especially when it concerns one of the most iconic players in their modern history. According to Fichajes, the Anfield hierarchy may be preparing for life without their talisman, with reports emerging of a record-breaking €140 million offer made to Real Madrid.

The interest is said to stem from a growing realisation at Liverpool that Mohamed Salah may not extend his stay on Merseyside. While recent speculation suggested new contract talks were progressing, FSG are clearly preparing for both possibilities — renewal or departure. “They claim the decision is based on FSG’s determination not to be ‘left behind’ by the prospect of losing Salah and that ‘negotiations over his sale can begin in the next few days’.”

Journalist Ben Jacobs previously reported “there were no advanced discussions between Rodrygo and Liverpool, or indeed with the winger and any other club.”

Moreover, should Salah decide to stay, there is logic in the player’s reluctance to make the switch. With both operating in similar roles, the presence of Salah could dissuade any big-name arrival in the same position.

Salah’s Form and Slot’s Perspective

Recent concerns over Salah’s goalscoring form were addressed directly by Slot, who appeared unfazed by a brief dry spell.
