Liverpool have been told that they already have a player at the club who can replace Mohamed Salah if he leaves this summer.
All eyes will be on who will replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield at the end of this season, but Liverpool will have a few other dilemmas as well.
He has been unbelievable for them over the years.
However, the Egyptian will enter the final year of his contract this summer, and everyone is expecting a huge offer to come in from Saudi Arabia.
Liverpool will need a replacement for Salah if he moves on, and ESPN pundit Steve Nicol has an interesting suggestion for the Reds.

Replacing Jurgen Klopp this summer will be an extremely difficult task, but finding someone to take Mohamed Salah‘s spot will not be easy either.
Liverpool, for what it’s worth, would love to keep hold of Salah, but he will turn 32 this summer, and it will be difficult to turn down a huge offer should it arrive.
Finding a replacement for Salah will be extremely difficult.
That’s why Steve Nicol has an interesting suggestion for FSG.
The ESPN pundit believes Darwin Nunez, who mostly plays as a number nine, should be moved to the right-wing this summer if Salah leaves, and he is convinced the Uruguayan will do a good job there.
If you’re wondering who will replace Nunez up front, Nicol has a name for that role too – Serie A side Napoli’s talisman, Victor Osimhen.
When asked about the perfect Salah replacement, he said on ESPN: “I would be more tempted to go for somebody like Osimhen and use the other one (Nunez) out wide.”
Nicol was then asked if Nunez is capable of playing as a winger.
