Certainly has the ability to play anywhere on the front line (Mbappe), but I wouldn't want to handicap him by removing the option to cut in. Vini is more dispensible as great as he has been in spurts this year.

My biggest concern too. A goal scoring rw would be a perfect addition for us if we cannot land Haaaland (and seems we cannot). Also trust Salah to have two or three seasons in him but leaving Klopp's system usually leaves a mark and comes with a drop in quality.

How likely it is Liverpool would actually sell Salah this summer rather than keep him until his contract expires and try to win everything next season?
I wouldn't mind him if available for like 40m although his wage demands would be problematic. Maybe he just wants to leave and that's why he has unrealistic demands. Not very likely though as he'll turn 30 in summer and is (probably) looking for his last big pay check. Shouldn't get that here if that's what he wants.
If we're really going for another winger would prefer Raphinha if Leeds is relegated and will be availabe for a low clause (20-25m). Would clearly need to convince him with our project rather than give him the best offer as multiple EPL clubs will surely throw more money at him if available for cheap.

A lot of it is down to the team and Klopp. He has definitely improved a lot and is world class. But Klopp has made the role to completely suit him

60/40 to keep him right now. The club won't bend over for him but ideally want to keep him obviously. Money is the issue. The wage structure is pretty rigid.
And no, Salah doesn't want to leave. Him and his extremely candid agent have made it clear ample number of times recently

Yeah, there is always a risk he'd turn into the next Coutinho here. But he's stronger mentally and could also play his natural position while Coutinho's best position was occupied by Messi so I think it's less likely he'd flop.
If everyone (welll, Ansu especially) stays fit then Fati-Ferran-Salah would look quite tasty imo. With Auba and Adama/Dembele on the bench. Clearly no 40 goals scorer but would have three players who could/should score 20+ goals.

Well, he doesn't want to leave but at the same time also wants to get paid. And if Liverpool won't give him what he wants he'll go elsewhere. If not this summer then in 2023.

True. While Salah wants to stay I doubt he'll compromise on the money.
He's also a very good penalty taker.
He'd be a great addition. He turns 30 this year, and if I were him I'd be looking for at least a 4-year contract. That is of course unless a club offers a big jump in salary for 3 years, but that club ain't us.
Difference between him Coutinho, Dembele and Griezmann is that he has a clear position and has been consistent for years, one of the world's best players.
If we manage to sell Coutinho or Griezmann for 40m it's not a bad 'swap'.
Experienced and humble star player. Scores, assists, works hard. Prime years too.

Paying a lot of money for a 30y old player on high wages is never a good idea. We shouldn't do that in our current economic condition.

That's why I don't think his transfer is a bad idea if we cannot get a young star. Gnabry seems to be in similar position but I don't have a clear idea about him. Even if Fati isn't fit next season - Ferran Auba Salah seems awesome, assuming Auba stays fit and in good form.
Such signing would surely elevate the team but all depends on economic demands and possibilities. If his demands aren't outrageous, I'd consider it.

The only thing that concerns me is that he might be jaded from Klopp's high pressing game. If he isn't and his wages are reasonable, I would definitely bring him here as we do need a reliable RW.
If we are getting Christensen, Mazraoui and Kessie for free and don't sign anybody else, getting Salah is a good idea. I would assume we can get 2 years of WC level out of Mo, maybe 3.
Then hopefully in 2024/2025 we'll have our young players more mature and ready to carry the team.
As good as free transfers the three above are, they aren't difference makers. Salah can be a huge advantage in a title fight.
