Liverpool preparing for Klopp's exit Salah's future at Liverpool is uncertain Reds linked with Newcastle's Gordon WHAT HAPPENED?
According to the Daily Star, the Reds are keeping tabs on the England winger but the 23-year-old will reportedly cost close to £100 million. This comes at a time when Egyptian international Salah could be heading towards an Anfield exit this summer, meaning Liverpool may need a replacement.

With Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp set to leave this summer, a new era at the club is drawing ever closer. If Salah were to depart, that would leave a sizeable hole in the Reds' attack and it appears Gordon is someone they are possibly targeting. Salah has been a world-class player at Liverpool and replacing his goals will not be easy.
DID YOU KNOW?
This season, Gordon has scored 11 goals and bagged 11 assists for Newcastle, whereas Salah has scored 25 times and turned provider on 14 occasions. So Gordon may not be a like-for-like replacement if Salah were to leave Liverpool and he replaced the Egyptian.

If Salah is to leave Liverpool this summer, with his contract expiring in 2025 as Saudi Pro League clubs monitor his contract situation, his last two games could be away to Aston Villa on Monday and then at home to Wolves on the last day of the season on May 19.
