Sometimes they move quickly to get a summer target in early if they think he's going to go somewhere else."I think over the next few days, especially in light of Isak's injury, Liverpool will be having discussions at the very highest level to work out whether they do make this late move for Semenyo."11:58Hannah PinnockSalah future latestMohamed Salah is expected to remain at Liverpool beyond the January window, according to the latest reports.The Egyptian plunged his Anfield future into doubt earlier this month with a bombshell interview following Liverpool's dramatic 3-3 draw away at Leeds United.He is now away with his national team to compete in the Africa Cup of Nations, but in light of Alexander Isak's suspected long-term leg injury, Salah's future at Liverpool should be secure.That's according to talkSPORT, who say Salah is now expected to stay at the club.

They haven’t moved to the same extent so far, to my knowledge, but let’s see if anything changes around the Alexander Isak injury, because we have just broken the news that Liverpool fear that it is a significant injury to his lower left leg."Tottenham were very keen, and I’m led to believe were prepared to pay a significant salary to Antoine Semenyo, but he’s politely focusing on other options, mainly it seems City or United, and he will have to make a decision around that."09:09Aaron MorrisICYMI: Liverpool urged to dodge Antoine Semenyo January transfer - 'Is never'John Barnes has urged Liverpool not to pursue Antoine Semenyo in the January transfer window, while also making bold assertions that Mohamed Salah isn't departing anywhere. The 18-year-old midfielder has impressed with Genk as of recent, with a number of Premier League clubs taking notice of him as a result.With an already sturdy engine room featuring the likes of Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai, however, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool will be looking to make additions come January.08:01Aaron MorrisArne Slot gives squad latest as Mohamed Salah update emergesMohamed Salah sparked controversy with his claims that he had been 'thrown under a bus' following Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds United earlier this month.He was then omitted from Arne Slot's squad for the Champions League encounter with Inter Milan, before appearing as a substitute last weekend against Brighton.
