“But I suspect they always worked on the basis that maybe he would do one year and then they’d sell him, so this is only bringing it forward perhaps six months.” Credit: ImagoBefore extending his contract with Slot’s side, there was talk earlier this year of Salah receiving a stake in Al-Hilal if he decided to move to Saudi. Liverpool could agree £50m Salah dealBorson revealed Salah, who turned 33 in June, has probably cost Liverpool around £15million for the first half of this season.

“I think where Liverpool may end up is a deal where okay, it’s not been worth the first six months of this season, it’s been expensive, it’s probably cost them maybe £15m more for this first half of the season, but he’ll probably go and they’ll get quite a sizeable fee, probably in excess of £50m,” said Borson. “That is not a bad outcome on a purely business sense, and everybody will move on and Liverpool’s rebuild to the extent that’s what it is will continue.” Liverpool signed Salah from Roma in 2017, with the deal worth around £34m for the Egypt international.
