Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool is up in the air, with his current contract set to expire next June. Recently, there have been rumors linking the star winger to Paris Saint-Germain, but could the Premier League side be plotting his replacement?
Recent reports from Fichajes suggest that PSG manager Luis Enrique is keen on signing Salah. The French club is eager to bring the winger on board to keep him competing at the highest level in European football.
As Salah approaches the possibility of free agency, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher thinks he will choose to stay at Anfield. Carragher believes Salah wants to solidify his legacy by breaking as many records as possible with Liverpool.
“He’ll have an eye on Thierry Henry and Frank Lampard by the end of this season, I would imagine,” Carragher said on Sky Sports. “I think stats like this are one of the biggest reasons why Mo Salah will sign a new contract at Liverpool.
“Of course they’ll be talking about money and length of contract, but I think these are the things that really get the juices flowing for Mo Salah. He breaks all the records at Liverpool, but getting as far as he can up those lists, I think that’s a big part of his focus as a player.”
Nonetheless, Bild reports that Dortmund has told Liverpool they must pay €100 million to sign Jamie Gittens as they search for long-term replacements for Salah.
