“Since Nunez is not performing as well as expected, we need to break the bank in order to get a better Center Forward that would actually give us results” – This is according to Arne Slot as Liverpool is expected to make a significant financial investment to finalize a deal for a forward capable of making a game-changing impact.

Liverpool, under FSG, is not typically known for spending large amounts of money, but they are expected to “break the bank” to secure a game-changing forward.

With Mo Salah now in the final nine months of his contract at Anfield, he will be able to negotiate with other clubs in January unless the Reds can finalize a new deal beforehand.

Mick Brown, a former chief scout for Manchester United, spoke to Football Insider and anticipates that Liverpool will make significant efforts to retain Salah due to his vital role in the team. He stated, “I believe Liverpool will go all out to keep him.

Among left-footed players who play on the right, he stands out as the best. Liverpool without Mo Salah aren’t the same team we know.”

Brown added, “He can change a game in an instant. When they’re struggling, they can rely on him to create something.

He’s crucial to their style of play. They’ll be eager to secure him with a new contract before he becomes available for free to clubs like those in Saudi Arabia.”

Salah is currently Liverpool’s highest earner, making £350,000 per week—almost double that of their third-highest paid player, Trent Alexander-Arnold, who earns £180,000 weekly.

As Salah will turn 33 just before his current contract expires next June, discussions about whether to increase his salary further could be contentious. Typically, it’s not advisable to pay a player in their mid-30s a significant sum.

However, Salah is an exceptional case. Players of his caliber and scoring ability are rare. Although he will eventually decline, there are no indications that this will happen soon.

His strong performance this season has already produced five goals and four assists in eight matches, making him Liverpool’s joint-top scorer and leading contributor overall.

Even with the impressive depth and quality of forwards under Arne Slot, Salah remains a standout player. His recent form and overall contributions warrant a new contract. If he is willing to stay, Liverpool must secure him with an extended deal.
