Neymar move to Saudi Arabia saves Liverpool from dire transfer scenario

But those salaries would pale in comparison to what Saudi Arabia could potentially offer. Life-changing money has already seen Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante jump ship for Saudi Arabia.

Salah would be forgiven for considering a similar offer if approached, but his exit would leave Liverpool in a tight spot. The 31-year-old remains Liverpool's main striker and was the club's top scorer again last season.

Liverpool are preparing for the future with Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz still having their best years ahead of them. But Liverpool are certainly not yet ready to live without Salah and it would be far too late to try and bring in a replacement.
