Liverpool's search for Mo Salah's replacement is well underway - but they may have trouble landing their No. Last week, the Egyptian forward confirmed he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, drawing the curtain on nine glittering, trophy-laden years at Anfield.Tributes have poured in from across the footballing world while Reds supporters are still coming to terms with the imminent departure of their talisman and the club's all-time Premier League top scorer.As the dust slowly begins to settle, focus is already shifting to the two questions that now loom large: what's next for Liverpool?
