Everything will fall into place on the pitch for Arne Slot, but the Premier League leaders have important decisions to make.
Liverpool they are four points clear of second-placed Chelsea and have lost just one Premier League match since then Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp in the summer.
However, one of the biggest reasons for Liverpool being at the top is form Mohamed Salahwhose contract expires in June. The 32-year-old has been consistently linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, and a deal to keep him at Anfield has not yet been signed.
Who will Liverpool sign if Salah leaves?
According to him, two potential replacements have emerged Caught doing the daily offside briefing. The gap left by Salah, winner of the Premier League and Champions League with the Reds, who was top of the table FourFourTwo‘S a list of the best wingers in the history of the Premier Leaguewould not be possible to complete.
However, fans would have plenty to be excited about if Slot was given the chance to work with any of Liverpool’s top targets from the club’s two biggest European competitors.
Like Salah, Bayern MunichLeroy Sane’s contract expires at the end of the season and will be available on a free transfer. The 28-year-old has already played in the Premier League. He won consecutive league titles with Manchester City in 2017-18 and 2018-19.
Sane scored 25 Premier League goals after joining Man City from Schalke and won three Bundesliga titles since returning to Germany with Bayern.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia still has two years left Naples contract at the end of the 2024-25 season and the transfer fee required to persuade them to sell would be significant.
‘Kvaradona’ impressed for Georgia at this year’s European Championship, but has performed brilliantly since moving to Serie A in 2022.
Twenty-three-year-old Kvaratskhelia has an exciting future ahead of him as one of Europe’s rising stars. He has all the attributes Liverpool would need in a Salah successor, as well as plenty of individual magic.
Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has scored 227 goals in all competitions.
He is reportedly keen to sign a new contract, but securing a multi-year contract with a salary that would prevent Salah from being tempted to move to Saudi Arabia means this is not an easy negotiation.
For that matter, Sane or Kvaratskhelia would have a lot to offer in Salah’s place. However, the Egyptian should and will be Liverpool’s priority for now.
