Salah subsequently delivered a scathing verdict on Liverpool's playing style and demanded a return to the "heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and wins trophies" after the loss to Aston Villa last month.However, Slot has since been dismissed and succeeded by Andoni Iraola, and while Owen acknowledges it remains improbable, he suggests there's still a possibility that Salah could re-join Liverpool this summer.He said: "Is it impossible that there's a U-turn? I think it's not beyond the realm that if Slot had been sacked during the season, Salah might have seen out his contract under a new manager."I don't think it's beyond the realms.

Obviously now that he's done his wave goodbye and all the rest of it, it's probably gone too far now to make a big U-turn."If they sacked Slot five games before the end, then maybe a U-turn could have happened then. Maybe it's still not fully beyond the realms of possibility."Liverpool confirmed the signing of Victor Munoz on Thursday and have informed RB Leipzig of their intention to pay a big fee for Yan Diomande as they seek to bolster their attacking options.However, Owen believes West Ham United's Jarrod Bowen is the ideal candidate to fill Salah's boots at Anfield."I would say that Liverpool need a right-sided attacking player," he said.

One did his knee straight away and one did his shoulder."(Virgil) Van Dijk and obviously one or two players can play in that position, but I would have thought a centre-half and a right-sided attacking player would be first priority."Liverpool has snapped up Victor Munoz(Image: Getty Images)Slot was relieved of his duties following an end-of-season review which concluded that his style of play was no longer suited to the club's needs.The Dutchman also paid the price for Liverpool's underwhelming defence of their Premier League crown and a campaign that yielded 19 defeats across all competitions.Owen, speaking via Casino.org, expressed his enthusiasm at the prospect of former Bournemouth manager Iraola taking the reins at Anfield. But you would say from a positive point of view, he's young, he's hungry."He plays a style of play that Liverpool fans have been used to, certainly in previous years under Jurgen Klopp.
