Liverpool are reportedly considering a £65million move for Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, whose future at Anfield has been thrown into doubt following explosive comments after the 3-3 draw with Leeds United. The Ghana international's release clause becomes active in January for the first two weeks of the transfer window, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur also linked.
Salah, an unused substitute for the third consecutive match, told reporters in the mixed zone that he feels the club has 'thrown him under the bus' and that there is 'no relationship' with manager Arne Slot. The Egyptian's remarks come amid renewed interest from the Saudi Pro League, with funds reportedly available to secure his transfer if he is open to a departure.
Liverpool's attacking options are limited in wide areas, with Cody Gakpo struggling for form on the left and Dominik Szoboszlai deputising on the right. The club's £225million exodus of players in recent windows has provided financial flexibility, but it remains to be seen whether they will enter the market in January to address Salah's potential exit.
Salah is set to miss matches in January due to the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, but his long-term future is uncertain despite signing a new contract last summer. The 32-year-old stated: 'I got a lot of promises in the summer and so far, I am on the bench for three games so I can't say they keep the promise.'
