But no, he’d be too old for Liverpool.”Steven Gerrard also discussed Liverpool's Salah succession plan, and he does not think that Bowen is the man to fill Salah's boots.“I really like Bowen and think he is a top player, but I am not sure he is Salah’s level to replace him,” Gerrard said.Jarrod Bowen turns 30 this year(Image: 2026 CameraSport)Gerrard's former England teammate, Owen Hargreaves, gave his verdict, saying: ”To replace Mo is going to be hard and cost a lot. You need somebody very special.”I think if you’re Liverpool you have to go for ready, tried and tested, and for me that would be somebody of the calibre of Olise.

If you are talking Olise on the right for Liverpool that is box office.”[PSG’s Bradley] Barcola can play on the left and right. There is a young lad at Leipzig, [Yan] Diomande, he is only 19, he leaves people for dead.”Gerrard agreed with Hargreaves, adding: ”I would be very surprised if they are not in the market for these types of players because you have to buy someone who is box office or else you are not replacing him."They have to be top end, top three or four wingers in the world, to replace Mo Salah, because that is what he has been.”Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Jamie CarragherSteven GerrardMohamed SalahLiverpool FC
