The possibility of Mohamed Salah remaining at Liverpool has been raised. With the possibility of Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) moving to Liverpool, there’s speculation that the best attacking duo combination could be formed.

The Mirror reported on the 25th (Korean time), "Salah is expected to leave Liverpool as a free agent at the end of this season, but Liverpool wants him to stay. They have been optimistic about agreeing to a new contract with Salah for some time. Salah is also satisfied at Liverpool."

Furthermore, "Liverpool aims for a two-year extension. However, negotiations have stalled due to financial issues. A glimmer of hope is the response from overseas clubs towards Salah. They could negotiate freely with Salah from January. However, transfer links to clubs such as the Saudi Arabian league and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) were swiftly and firmly rejected."

He joined Liverpool from AS Roma (Italy) during the summer transfer market in 2017.

Salah has appeared in 292 Premier League matches for Liverpool, recording 184 goals and 86 assists.

In particular, Salah has won the top scorer award three times with Liverpool in 2017-2018 (32 goals), 2018-2019 (22 goals), and 2021-2022 (23 goals).

With Salah's explosive scoring ability, Liverpool has won the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. Salah has participated in 29 matches this season, recording 27 goals and 17 assists.

With his contract with Liverpool expiring at the end of this season, Salah is currently in negotiations for a renewal. However, the negotiations are not proceeding well, contrary to expectations.

Recently, Salah said, "I have been here a long time. I have never had a team like this. However, there still has not been a renewal offer. That is not up to me. I love the fans, and the fans love me. However, the renewal is not up to me or the fans. It is disappointing. I have never received any offers from Liverpool so far."

The Mirror explained, "There are claims that Liverpool’s elimination from competitions such as the UCL and Carabao Cup has nothing to do with Salah's decision. It is known that Salah's top priority is to remain at Liverpool."

If Salah stays at Liverpool, a top attacking combination can be formed. In particular, with the recent rumors of Harry Kane's move to Liverpool, there is bound to be intense focus on Salah's retention.

Sports Bible reported on the 23rd, "Kane wants to make a surprise return to the Premier League after leaving Bayern Munich."

Kane is regarded as the greatest striker in Tottenham's history. He has made 435 appearances and scored 280 goals with 64 assists, achieving remarkable success.

Despite being a top star in the England national team, Kane has not lifted a trophy. Therefore, he is underrated as he has not won titles, unlike the top scorer title.

El Nacional reported on the 23rd that Kane wants to leave Germany and return to Britain in the upcoming summer transfer window, and Liverpool is seen as a strong candidate to acquire him.

Kane moved from Tottenham Hotspur to Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023.

So far, he has scored 76 goals in 82 matches, demonstrating consistent scoring ability in Germany. However, he is still reported to want to end his career in the Premier League.

Liverpool plans to actively move in the summer transfer market with the goal of strengthening their attacking lineup, and Kane has emerged as a suitable option for this.

Football Insider reported on the 24th, "Liverpool intends to overhaul the squad this summer. They want to add Alexander Isak to the front line, but Newcastle is planning a re-signing offer that doubles his salary, making it likely that this will fall through. Kane has emerged as the top target for acquisition."

They continued, "Kane wants to finish his career in the Premier League, and Liverpool is a strong destination. Liverpool fans welcome Kane's signing, believing he will provide powerful firepower in the front line as a scoring machine. There are also talks that he will sign a 2+1 year contract."

The rumors of Kane's move to Liverpool are surprising everyone. Arne Slot, who took the reins after Jürgen Klopp's departure, has successfully led the team this season.

Notably, Liverpool has operated with the existing squad without any special signings, receiving praise for being at the top of the Premier League. They were eliminated from cup tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League (UCL), but Slot's first season is regarded as successful.

Meanwhile, former Tottenham player Gary Lineker previously stated, "I feel Salah will sign (a new contract). It’s too quiet. There might be speculation. Otherwise, I’d be shocked."
