Transfer rumors are circulating about Mohamed Salah leaving Liverpool this summer. This past weekend, the Reds are said to have scouted a midfield player from Porto.
Liverpool doesn’t have time to reflect on the two points it lost to Manchester United on Sunday at Old Trafford. Though the Reds have seldom dominated a game this much in terms of projected goals and lost, attention now needs to turn to the Europa League quarterfinals.
On Thursday night, Atalanta will visit Anfield for the first leg of the encounter. In 2020, it triumphed 2-0 during its lone prior visit at the Champions League group stage. But since that game was played behind closed doors, Liverpool will undoubtedly benefit more from the atmosphere that welcomes them this time around.
Additionally, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team has only triumphed once in their previous seven road games across all competitions. Even if they won against Napoli, the reigning Serie A winners are not playing near to their previous level of play. Before the rematch in Italy the following week, the Reds can be sure of a victory.
Even though the 2023–24 season is coming to a finish and some awards still need to be decided, there are countless rumors, as usual, about players who might be moving this summer.
This is Liverpool.com’s assessment of the transfer rumors that have surfaced regarding the Reds today, which include updates on Mohamed Salah’s future and a potential target that the Reds may be scouting in Portugal this weekend.
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
Salah scored from the penalty spot for his goal at Old Trafford, but in five starts since coming back from injury, he has four goals and three assists. Very shortly, normal service was restored.
The same goes for rumors that associate him with relocations abroad. Salah’s contract is about to expire, and according to a report from HITC that The Express published, Saudi Pro League teams are reportedly interested in signing the 31-year-old.
Liverpool’s home shirt for the 2023/2024 campaign pays homage to Bill Shankly and the legendary Reds manager’s final season in charge at Anfield. The Nike shirt features a bright red design with a bold white contrast on the colour and cuffs.
Though it’s nothing new, Michael Edwards is allegedly “ready to sell Mohamed Salah” at this point. According to reports, Saudi teams are “confident” that a deal can be reached for Salah this summer and may take heart from Edwards’ position on the subject.
Additionally, it’s said that Liverpool and Edwards are prepared to consent to Salah’s departure should the Egyptian express any desire to move on. That does not seem realistic right now, considering his performances lately.
