Liverpool successfully fended off enticing offers for Mohamed Salah in the previous transfer window, with Al-Ittihad ready to pay a staggering £200 million for the winger. Despite the substantial bid, Liverpool categorically rejected the offer, emphasizing their determination to retain Salah at Anfield.
Looking ahead to the summer of 2024, there is a notable shift in perspective as Liverpool is reportedly preparing for the potential departure of Mohamed Salah next year. While the club firmly resisted selling him to Saudi Arabia previously, there are indications that they are proactively identifying a worthy replacement in Kylian Mbappe. However, Mo Salah is now is focused on facing LASK tonight
Is Liverpool planning to sell Mohamed Salah to get Kylian Mbappe?
The looming departure of Mohamed Salah may indeed pave the way for Kylian Mbappe’s arrival at Anfield, but Liverpool have to be ready to face fierce competition from Real Madrid, who have been interested in Kylian Mbappe for a long time now.
Kylian Mbappe is widely recognized as a top footballer globally, and a competitive race is unfolding to secure the forward’s signature when he eventually departs Paris Saint-Germain next summer. The striker, who is set to be a free agent, has communicated his desire to leave the French side, and there is widespread anticipation that he will make a move to Real Madrid.
Hence, several sources have confirmed that Liverpool are also moving in on the French superstar. However, the signing of Kylian Mbappe is expected to require a serious investment on Liverpool’s part, considering how expensive Mbappe will be.
Mohamed Salah stands out as Liverpool’s prominent star, showcasing remarkable form this season and currently securing the second spot in the Premier League top scorers’ table with 10 goals.
Despite his pivotal role for Liverpool, Salah remains a primary target for the Saudi Pro League, expressing a willingness to secure his services for a substantial fee, reaching as high as £200 million last summer. Liverpool is considering leveraging Salah’s potential transfer to fund the pursuit of Kylian Mbappe.
