Liverpool could be prepared to let star forward Mohamed Salah leave the club this summer as negotiations drag on over a new contract for the player.
The Egyptian has just one year left on his current deal at Anfield with the Reds thought to be unwilling to meet his demands for a big pay rise. Former star Sadio Mane was facing a similar predicament, but Liverpool decided an agreement with the Senegal international was beyond reach and decided to sell him to Bayern Munich in a £35.1million move.
And reports have suggested the Reds may view Salah's future in a similar vein, and could sell their star forward this summer rather than risk losing him for nothing in a year's time. It comes as FC Porto expect Liverpool to firm up their interest in winger Otavio after they rejected an offer from Premier League rivals Leeds United.
