Mohamed Salah has chosen to bind his future to Liverpool and Arne Slot believes that his faith show will help their summer transfer activities with individuals who want to play with him
Arne Slot has suggested that this summer Liverpool will pursue a goal scorer with Mohamed Salah a draw for potential recruits. The Egyptian has just put pen on paper about a new deal, which will keep him in Anfield for another two years.
The future of Salah had dominated the headlines for months, but he will now stay in what is a huge boost for the club and Slot, which is looking for his first season. The Premier League title is almost secure, partly because of the objectives of Salah.
He has again been the most important sniper of the team and scored more than 30 times, but he has doubled the second highest goal scorer of Liverpool, who is Cody Gakpo. The club was unable to rediscover the combination that existed when Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino led the line.
Slot was particularly quiet in his first summer transfer window, but is expected to be advised much more actively with Liverpool to add more firepower to reduce dependence on Salah. However, the Egyptian could prove an asset when it comes to their recruitment with players who want to share the field with him.
The Dutch manager said: “I think that if I want to put myself in shoes from a player we want to sign, it is always nice that Mo stays. So that helps, but what helps we have held a quality player who scored so many goals in 7/8 years. You are rated on goals so that it is useful to have someone who can score.”
There was talk of Darwin Nunez who left Anfield with the Uruguayan who is still struggling to find a regular form. Luis Diaz has also been associated with the starting door while he continues to struggle for consistency on the flank.
The last important addition of Liverpool to their front line was the signing of Gakpo, which came after the World Cup in 2022. The decision of Salah to stay will help the ambitions of the Reds to keep a challenge for honor with lock with lock who will be his belief in the club for those who look at those who watch.
He said: “If you want to sign players or maintain players, it is always a positive that one of our star players has made the choice to expand. It also shows how ambitious this club is, MO, the owners and those who came last summer, we are ambitious to continue to perform at the level that this club has been in recent years.”
Federico Chiesa was the only signed lock made last summer, but he is hardly visible. The boss of the Reds has used a very small pool of players and adding players who can compete for starting berths is probably a priority with Liverpool that can challenge more than one trophy in April.
