Liverpool could spend Mohamed Salah’s money on five players, including Burnley target

Liverpool have insisted Mohamed Salah is not for sale this summer, but it remains to be seen if they can resist the Saudi money.

Liverpool could be on a big spending spree during the rest of the summer transfer window if they decide to part ways with Mohamed Salah. The striker has attracted a lot of interest from Saudi club Al Ittihad.

Salah is heavily linked with the Middle East move despite signing a contract extension at Anfield last year. The former Chelsea forward’s reunion with former teammates Jordan Henderson and Fabinho so late in the transfer window would be a blow to Liverpool’s hopes this season, but they would receive a big cash injection in return. Express Sport is looking for five stars to bet with the funds found, both to reinforce the midfield and to replace the winger…

Cheick Doucoure

Crystal Palace player Cheick Doucoure was named on the midfield target list earlier this summer, and interest in the Malian international is likely to rekindle. The 23-year-old has been a solid link in the Eagles squad since his arrival from Lens and could be an ideal candidate to play in Jurgen Klopp’s No6 and protect his defence.

Ryan Gravenberch

Manchester United and Liverpool are both in the running to sign Ryan Gravenberch, and there appears to be a willingness from Bayern Munich to part ways with the midfielder. The Dutch international was widely regarded as one of the best talents in Europe until his departure to the Allianz Arena, and a move to Anfield could help his recovery.

João Palhinha

Fulham put a significant price on Joao Palhinha earlier this summer after interest in the Portuguese international started to build. A pre-season injury has cut short many appearances and now could be the perfect time for Liverpool to pounce as they have Wataru Endo in charge in the meantime.

Johan Bakayako

Replacing Salah is a tall order for any player, but the potential shown by Johan Bakayako might suggest he is capable of it. The 20-year-old has shone for PSV over the past 12 months. The Belgium international has reportedly already been selected as a potential signing – provided other interested clubs like Burnley don’t come forward.

Federico Chiesa

Liverpool are long-time admirers of Juventus’ Federico Chiesa and a new transfer injection could mean they finally make a bid for the Italy international. The 25-year-old also fits the mold of a Reds striker as he can play anywhere on the front line, although given his importance to Massimiliano Allegri’s side Liverpool will have to pay a premium for the move. ex-Fiorentina star.

Liverpool step in to sign £30million and £60million players – Report

If media reports are to be believed, Liverpool are in talks with not one but two midfielders to strengthen their squad.

The Reds have already bought three midfielders in the form of Mac Allister, Szoboszlai and Endo, but have sacked five, so the department will need to be strengthened further this summer.

In such a scenario, Liverpool have signed Dutch international Ryan Gravenberch and Malian international Cheick Doucoure.

According to The Mail, the Merseysiders have had productive talks to attract Gravenberch, who is looking to play more after warming up on the bench with Bayern Munich last season.

The 21-year-old can play effectively in the number 6 and number 8 and has the qualities to finally replace compatriot Gini Wijnaldum at Anfield. As reported by the German media (Bild), the Bavarians would be willing to do business with the Anfield club if they were willing to offer 30 million pounds for the ex-Ajax boy.

After starting just three games in the Bundesliga last season, he has risen from third to fourth choice midfielder this season following the arrival of Konrad Laimer.

On the other hand, Simon Jones says Liverpool have also moved and held talks to sign Doucouré from Crystal Palace.

The African star is a natural defensive midfielder, who likes to tackle and break up the game. He had a fantastic debut season in England last season but it will cost a lot. According to a recent report from The Independent, an offer worth £60m could be needed to sign the Eagles player.
