Liverpool want deal for €45m forward to replace Mo Salah Liverpool will be waving goodbye to Mohamed Salah at the end of the current season. The Egyptian King, 33, is drawing the curtain on a glorious nine-year spell on Merseyside. Salah and sporting director Richard Hughes have agreed to rip up the forward’s £400k per week contract - which was due to run until 2027.
Focus will soon turn on which player will come into the club to replace Salah - who has won the Champions League and two Premier League titles with Liverpool among other honours.
