Egypt international Mohamed Salah, who is under contract with Liverpool until June 2025, will hold talks this summer to sign a new contract and decide whether he will remain at Anfield beyond next season. If he renews, the possibility of a move to Saudi Arabia will not disappear, but he will no longer leave on a free transfer once he does.
Various names have been floated as possible replacements for the player, with news surrounding Newcastle United’s England international Anthony Gordon recently gaining momentum, albeit in a different position, and many media and journalists have reported that he could be available this summer.
However, former Liverpool and ex-England international Jermaine Pennant has no doubts that a player with as much experience as Bayern Munich’s German international Leroy Sane would be the ideal successor.
“You need someone with experience to replace Mohamed Salah, like Leroy Sane. For me, that would be a great signing, he has pace, he cuts in on his right or left.”
“When he played at the Emirates he was absolutely unreal, he tore Arsenal apart. So if he can do that to Arsenal at the Emirates, he’d be an amazing signing. He knows the Premier League with City.”

The 28-year-old fast-footed winger also played for Manchester City after a spell in Schalke’s academy, and from 2020 he moved to the Bundesliga, where he has scored 48 goals and 50 assists in 175 games and scored 13 goals in 65 appearances for the German national team.
During the season, some media reported a possible move to Liverpool, but since the opening of the transfer window he has not been heard from at all.
His age also makes it difficult to make long-term plans, and it seems unlikely that the Reds will make a serious move for the attacker, who will turn 29 next winter.
