Jurgen Klopp backed to sign 'world class' replacement for Mohamed Salah or Liverpool front three partners

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been tipped to sign a 'world-class' replacement if one of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane or Roberto Firmino is to leave Anfield in the summer.

All three are currently in the final 18 months of their contracts, which expire in 2023. While negotiations over a new deal for Mohamed Salah are ongoing, an agreement is yet to be reached.

Diogo Jota is starting to cement a starting spot following his arrival from Wolves in 2020. New signing Luis Diaz also has incredible potential.

Should one of the famous front three depart at the end of the season, or next summer, former Leeds United goalkeeper Paddy Kenny expects Klopp to splash the cash on a quality replacement that could form the future of the club's attack alongside Jota and Diaz.

“That attack is just frightening, look at the options they have,” Kenny told Football Insider.

“No disrespect to the old front three, I know they still have years ahead of them, but Liverpool could look to move one of them on.

“Especially Mane or Firmino because they haven’t been as good as Jota this season.

“If that happens, I think you will see them go out and sign a world-class replacement.

“Then, in five years, you will have seen another incredible Liverpool front three of Jota, Diaz, and this new guy.”
