    Salah will be around for a while. I even doubt if he’d want to go to the Saudi league. He lives for big games and breaking records, and he’d want to do that for as long as he can.

      He was our only player to issue a statement after our failure in qualifying for the UCL last season. I honestly believe he’d have departed then, in pursuit of top flight European football elsewhere, if any immediate intentions existed. Saudi is a retirement league for great players to rest their laurels, I think Salah has ambition & respect beyond money at Liverpool. Even in his late 30s, I think the Saudi fund would shill out immense wages for the most iconic Arab-speaking Islamic footballer in many years, quality has no bearing on it. He can depart whenever.

    Serious question since I’m a new guy who started to love football, if he ends his career in liverpool, will he be considered one of the greats in the club?

    No shit Sherlock. The times really has gone downhill if they think that pointing out ‘keeping hold of your good players is a good thing’ is newsworthy.

    Salah could win Balondor and I’d still call him underrated. And that really hurts to say as a united fan

    He’s still arguably underrated. He’s almost never talked about in All-Time lists or even some PL all-time lists.

    He has 217G/A in 243 PL games; Salah’s CL numbers are great too.

    Hazard - who he is often compared and rated lower to; has 146G/A in 245 PL games; Hazard while still being a fantastic player, isn’t really on the same tier in my opinion.

    He’s irreplaceable. He’s our playmaker and our goalscorer - we will be a lot worse when he’s gone. Maybe if we sign Mbappe we’ll be okay lmao.

      PL all-time lists

      He’s definitely considered by most as the greatest PL winger ever, let alone RW.

    Honestly didn’t think he could keep up his stunning form after 2019 or something. He seemed disinterested, like Auba who in hindsight looks like he used all he had left in the tank to secure one final big contract with us before waning away. Not Salah. I’m pleasantly surprised. I hate playing against him but I love great players and he’s one of the greats

    I don’t even think he ever wanted to go. His agent denied it and he never spoke about it. To me it seemed like it was a bunch of BS from the Saudi side. I think he loves it here and wants to retire here.

    If Liverpool got what they got for Fabinho from Saudi, imagine what they could get for Salah even when he eventually starts to fall off or lose his pace. Don’t see how Liverpool don’t win in this situation by keeping him

    Liverpool are on an absolute winner here.

    Soon as he loses his pace or gets on a bit they’ll get £££ and be able to reinvest it.

    Liverpool have done very well out of Saudi prominence in football

      Possibly. Either that or he leaves at the end of the season on a free. I’d love an extension but it feels as if he either leaves at the end of this season or leaves on a free after the next

      I feel like he’s already lost his pace a bit (still fast as shit though), but has adapted beautifully to become an insane playmaker. He’s our most creative player imo.

    Saudi money doesn’t turn you into a household name and doesn’t give you a legacy or prestigious trophies.

    It gives you lots of money at the cost of most people’s respect.

      Meh I wouldn’t say most peoples really, I think most football fans over say 25 would appreciate the reasons for the move. I love seeing players turn down the money to play in top leagues instead as much as the next guy but it’s a career at the end of the day and a short one at that.

    He is 31. Not a chance he wants to leave Liverpool until he is 34+. And no chance Liverpool will sell him unless he forces it. He is the most famous Muslim player in the world, the money will be there for him in the far east in his late 30s if he wants it.

    Keeping him out? He didn’t want to go! Nobody kept him out! I thought everyone here was saying Liverpool should accept this or that, even though no official bid was made.

      well in the most level headed way possible it never got that far.

      if liverpool accepted 200 mill (which no one would’ve blamed them)

      it wouldn’t have been outrageous to assume salah accepts their offer to make more money than neymar and ronaldo.
