Jermaine Pennant wants to see Mohamed Salah sold by Liverpool in the summer, with approaches then made for Bradley Barcola and Michael Olise.The Egyptian has over 12 months left on his contract at Anfield, but links to the Saudi Pro League are still ongoing as we head towards the 2026 summer transfer window.Salah’s Liverpool form has improved in recent matches, scoring two in two against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the last week, but Pennant would still be happy to let him go for £100m. Who was YOUR Man of the Match in Liverpool’s win over Wolves? 😁 Photo by Alex Livesey/Getty Images Bradley Barcola and Michael Olise mooted to replace Mohamed Salah at LiverpoolSpeaking on his Wildcards podcast this week alongside Jermaine Jenas, Pennant discussed his stance on selling Salah and suggested Liverpool should part with the 33-year-old before moving for PSG star Bradley Barcola or Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise.He said: “Who would I be getting rid of?
If Saudi came in say there’s 75 million, 100 million, we want Salah. “You know I would accept that fee and then with that money and I would probably maybe look to bring in Olise or Barcola.” Discuss: Diomande has already proven he’s the BEST replacement for Mo Salah!
Diomande, Doue, Williams and Barcola have been named as potential options…Credit: Boris Streubel/Maciej Rogowski/Eurasia Sport Images/David Ramos/Jean Catuffe/Getty Images Salah could also leave for the MLS, though it’s hard to imagine any club in that division can afford such a high transfer fee, given that Heung-min Son’s move to LAFC for $26.5m is the record deal in North America at present.As well as probably not getting the fee Pennant has suggested, Liverpool’s chances of signing either of Olise or Barcola seem low.The Bayern Munich winger is an ‘unrealistic’ target, even if the Reds do like the player.Meanwhile, Liverpool are reported to have approached PSG about Barcola, but he is ‘considered central to the club’s long-term plans’.That does not mean no wingers will arrive at Anfield in 2026, however, with Yan Diomande still mooted as an option for the current Premier League champions.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
