150 million pounds! Salah confirmed his departure, Liverpool's replacement is in place, and Bayern is helpless
According to the exact news brought by British media Sky Sports, Liverpool star Salah has confirmed his departure to join the Saudi league next summer. Originally, Liverpool did not plan to release him, after all, Pharaoh is still in good form at this stage, and he is also the core of the team's striker. If he leaves, it will be a big weakening of Liverpool's overall strength, but the willingness of the pharaoh himself and the high offer of the Saudi side have changed all this.
It is reported that Salah himself has a very strong desire to leave the team and join the Saudi league. The Egyptian star is one of the most influential footballers in the Arab region, and he enjoys a high status there. The Saudi league also bought him for this reason. At the same time, Salah himself is willing to retire in the league in the Arab region and end his career. At Liverpool, Salah himself has won all the honours he can get, whether it's the Champions League, the Premier League or anything else. Salah has been in the arms of the past few seasons and is no longer young. Although there are still 2~3 seasons at the peak of his career, Salah himself wants to end it early.
Salah has now formally agreed with the Saudi league side that he must leave Liverpool next summer. For Liverpool, they respect Mohamed Salah's wishes. What's more, Liverpool's asking price of 150 million pounds is ready to be met by the Saudi league, so Salah's departure is a sure fact. In other words, this season will be Salah's last in the big five leagues. Both he and the team are bound to challenge for all possible championships in the final season.
In a way, the Saudi league's offer to buy Salah is genuine. It is not yet known how much Salah himself is paid. But what is certain is that being able to send an offer of 150 million pounds is the bottom line of the Saudi league. Although the Saudi league superstar program offers a lot of veterans from the top five leagues high salaries. But there is one detail that many fans have not discovered, and that is that the transfer fee of the Saudi league is not much. Most of them are visa-free, and even if they buy them, they only cost tens of millions of euros. None of the superstars of Neymar's caliber have exceeded 100 million euros. Offering Salah £150 million at this time shows their sincerity.
For Liverpool, with Salah clear on his departure, they must begin to prepare a stand-in for their attack. Salah's departure will have a ripple effect, with the entire forward structure of the team being torn down and rebuilt. In the right winger position, they have to buy new players to replace him. According to the British media The Times, Liverpool's stand-in for Salah is Bayern winger Leroy Sane. In order for the two strikers to work seamlessly, Liverpool are prepared to spend the £150 million they received from the sale of Salah on a transfer for Leroy Sane.
Liverpool's meaning is clear, it is a bit difficult to poach Bayern's main winger, but they are willing to spend money. Even if the 150 million pounds are used, it will not hesitate. In this way, Liverpool can guarantee that they will be able to dig up Sane. In addition to this, in the forward position, Liverpool are also ready to start buying new players. This summer window, they bought a few central midfielders such as McAllister, and they still lack manpower in the forward line, especially on the right wing. Liverpool are looking to add as much depth as possible to their squad, and Mohamed Salah's departure will accelerate that all.
As for Salah, in the case of the end of his prime. At this stage, choosing to leave the five major leagues to go to Saudi Arabia to make money is also a good choice. After all, all kinds of honors have been obtained, and it is also good to go to the Saudi league to earn a few seasons of big money to end his career. So in your opinion, if Salah leaves, will Sane be his best replacement, and will Liverpool be unable to slow down for several seasons because of Salah's departure?
