Liverpool are already into pre-season mode in terms of planning and decision-making, with a number of players potentially re-signing or being sold. And then there’s Mo…
Salah will leave for free without new deal
Mohamed Salah isn’t going to be going back on his word from before the Champions League final, with the forward set to stay next season whatever happens.
But that isn’t tremendous news entirely, if it means the Reds lose a player who was in the running for major individual awards this season for free next summer.
Reports today however say that unless the Reds seriously up their game in terms of offering him an extension, that’s exactly what will happen – he’ll see out his deal, then move on a Bosman.
The suggestion is that we’ve only offered him a 15% raise for a new deal, around £230k a week.
3 things today: Transfer and renegotiations
- Sadio Mane is a little closer to Bayern according to German reports, which say a €35m offer is “on the table” for the Reds to consider
- Neco Williams is set to have a £15m price tag if clubs want to sign him after an impressive loan spell – and the same fee applies to Nat Phillips
- Naby Keita is in line for a contract extension – but Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain‘s future depends on whether he wants a move or not
