Mo Salah’s replacement by Liverpool’s backup striker is an unexpected decision.

The chant “Mo Salah, Mo Salah, Mo Salah, running down the wing. Salah la la la laaaa, the Egyptian King” isn’t likely to be heard on the Anfield terraces for very long.

There will be a significant gap in Liverpool’s front line as rumours about the 31-year-old perhaps leaving for one final big pay day in the Saudi Pro League persist.

The Reds are rumoured to be open to bringing the French World Cup champion to the Premier League if they can keep him out of Real Madrid’s hands. Kylian Mbappe is expected to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

But if Liverpool is unable to buy Mbappe, they have an unexpected option as their backup signing, according to Fichajes.

The source claims that Pedro Neto, a 23-year-old Portuguese star for Wolverhampton Wanderers, was selected due to his versatility as a wing player.

Respectfully, Neto isn’t going to be the household name that Liverpool supporters are looking for, but most of the additions made under Klopp have been fruitful.

Their success has been largely down to their methodical approach to transfers, and when it comes to making trades, Klopp and his backroom crew deserve the confidence of their followers.

Jordan Henderson “offered” to two of the biggest teams in Europe, but Jürgen Klopp emphasises Liverpool’s reality.

Jordan Henderson, the former captain of Liverpool, has had interest in returning, but Jürgen Klopp has summed up the current situation.

Jordan Henderson might have been three matches away from another historic Liverpool trophy lift if he had made different choices last summer. He’d be dreaming of a quadruple too, for the second time in three seasons.

Instead, if the Daily Mail is to be believed, he’s over in Saudi Arabia, frantically looking for a way out. The only thing keeping his present manager, Steven Gerrard, from losing his job is the small number of fans who are attending this disgraceful game.

Two of Liverpool’s new midfield additions, making up seventy-five percent of the midfield, were unable to start the FA Cup match against Arsenal. Bobby Clark had made his introduction by the time the match ended. Henderson was aware that if he stayed at Anfield, he would not be a sure starter, but there would have been minutes available.

Liverpool, meanwhile, hasn’t looked back and won’t do so anytime soon. Jürgen Klopp was questioned about Henderson’s situation and the likelihood of a comeback following the victory. The manager’s expression certainly said more about him than his response, but when the two last spoke, he affirmed that this was not a matter on the agenda.

So what’s next for Henderson? It is evident that he still has the trust of England boss Gareth Southgate, which must be confusing to Curtis Jones, who has brought such vitality to a once-stagnant Liverpool midfield. However, considering his current salary, it’s difficult to imagine many clubs choosing to take the risk.

Bayern Munich and Juventus have reportedly made an offer for Henderson, according to talkSPORT. In addition, ‘nearly every Premier League club’ and Bayer Leverkusen have expressed interest in him.

However, Al-Ettifaq has not made such offer because it does not want to approve of a sale and believes that his salary will probably be a barrier to obtaining a loan. An interested party would have to work hard to negotiate a transaction given these obstacles.

According to Liverpool.com, could teams like Juventus or Bayern Munich actually attempt to free Henderson from Saudi Arabia at a substantial financial expense? Taking him on as a low-risk wager would be one thing, but the 33-year-old has an extremely weak hand because his club is not a willing seller.

If things were different, it would be simple to feel bad for him. However, when Henderson signed on the dotted line and prioritised money over a plethora of other factors, all of this was ludicrously foreseeable. Liverpool has fully moved on, and the midfield player may also need to find a way to accept his decision.
