Liverpool will need a big signing for the right-winger position when Mohamed Salah finally leaves the club.
The Egyptian superstar is said to be closely linked with a move to Saudi Arabia and the Red Devils are expected to accept the signing of Bukayo Saka as his replacement.
Arsenal legend Paul Merson believes the Merseysiders should sell the former Roma and then use that money to sign the Gunners.
“They sell (Salah) for £200m and then in January see if they can buy Saka from Arsenal for £150m.”
Salah has broken several Premier League records for the Anfield club and last season the 31-year-old scored 30 goals in all competitions and also provided 16 assists.
On the other hand, Saka is Arsenal’s golden boy and a few months ago he became the club’s highest-paid player when he signed a contract worth £300,000-a-week (The Mail).
Last season, the 21-year-old England international scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists in all competitions for the north London club and recently won the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
After the opening game of the 2023-24 season, Arteta praised the youngster and said (BBC):
“He sets new goals and new requirements year after year. He seems to complete them because he is extremely hungry and eager to learn and improve.
Just bring in a world-class player to replace Mohamed Salah and Saka is already one of the best wingers in the world.
In your opinion, if Liverpool sold the African superstar for £200 million, should they offer £150 million for the Arsenal player?
