149 Liverpool have a very busy summer ahead of them as they prepare for Jurgen Klopp’s departure from the Anfield hotseat.
The Reds boss will step down at the end of the season, bringing an end to a glorious chapter in the club’s history.
The job for FSG and Liverpool now is to ensure that there can be as much continuity as possible in terms of quality on and off the pitch at the club.
Another potential pressing issue is that of Mohamed Salah’s future. The Reds forward’s contract runs until 2025, so this is something else Liverpool need to address.
Salah was previously linked with a move to the Saudi Professional League, and there’s a good chance that we’ll see more speculation on this front in the coming months.
Clinton Morrison has now given his verdict on what Liverpool might do with regards to the 31-year-old’s future.
What has Clinton Morrison said about Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool?
Morrison believes that, if Liverpool receive a £100million offer for Salah this summer, Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes will accept it.
“They are trying to make the Saudi league grow and having Salah there will will go to another level,” Morrison said on BBC Radio 5 Live.
“They have brought in the likes of Ronaldo, Neymar. If you bring Salah in, and you made a good point Fletch, he is 31.
“No Liverpool fan or the new manager coming in would want to lose Salah. His numbers playing from the right-hand side are fantastic. His numbers are ridiculous.
“Will they be able to get a player who can replicate what Salah can do?
“But he is getting to that age where if you get over £100million for him, I can see him leaving this summer.”

Salah has been absolutely incredible for Liverpool over the years, and the prospect of him leaving isn’t a pleasant one for any Reds fan.
However, he will be 32 this summer, and with one year’s contract remaining, the time might be right for cashing in.
Obviously Liverpool should not probably not entertain any offers short of stratospheric – in that case you might as well keep Salah until his contract’s up.
But for anything north of, say £80million, it would give the next Liverpool manager the perfect chance to reinvest into the team.
