Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson reckons they should cash in on Mohamed Salah and sell him to the Saudi Pro League.
Salah is very much still Jurgen Klopp's main man for the Reds. He's started the Premier League season in fine form with 10 goals in 12 games as well as four assists.
But his current contract expires at the end of the 2024/25 season, and Lawrenson believes Anfield chiefs shouldn't offer him an extension given he'll be turning 32 next summer.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if the manager and the player have already had a conversation about it, Jurgen Klopp would be asking for him to give everything till the end of the season and then he can go.”

Salah was the subject of intense interest from Al-Ittihad, one of the four Saudi sides owned by the Middle Eastern nation's Public Investmend Fund, earlier this year.
Liverpool are believed to have knocked back a verbal offer worth £150million, insisting he wasn't up for sale. But their resolve will likely be tested again in the January transfer window.
