Former Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson has suggested Jurgen Klopp to money in on Mohamed Salah in January and make a transfer for Kylian Mbappe with the cash they obtain from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Pro League aspect Al-Ittihad tried to check the Reds' resolve with a monster £150million bid for Salah this summer season and are anticipated to return in for the Egyptian famous person as soon as the switch window opens up once more in January.

There was discuss of a possible £200m supply which might match PSG's valuation for Mbappe. The Frenchman had beforehand tried to pressure a transfer away from Parc des Princes however has since entered into talks with the reigning Ligue 1 champions a few contract extension.

As a end result, the 24-year-old is not going to go away on a free subsequent summer season as was anticipated. Mbappe's can both signal the one-year extension possibility in his present deal to 2025 or put pen to paper on a brand new long-term contract.

Mbappe had been closely linked to Real Madrid however that possibility seems to be off the desk, not less than for now, with supervisor Carlo Ancelotti not too long ago ruling out the transfer completely and affirming that his "squad is closed". Klopp can also be stated to be a eager admirer of the participant and would little doubt be focused on buying his providers ought to he lose his star man to the Saudis.

Johnson doubts Mbappe would have an interest however thinks Liverpool's finest guess of constructing it occur could be by promoting Salah in January once they can obtain one of the best deal potential for the 31-year-old. “I could see it happening. Mo’s not going to be able to always perform at the same levels that he has been doing over the past few years and if Liverpool can cash in for huge money for a 31-year-old, then it would be difficult for the club to turn down," he told GGrecon.

“January could be the perfect time for Liverpool to cash in because if Mo’s interested in the move then they can make an enormous amount of money for a player that’s in his thirties.

‌

“There will be major competition for Kylian from the biggest European clubs and Saudi clubs and I know we all praise Liverpool for their statistical approach to transfers, but sometimes you just need to try and go out and sign the best player.

“I don’t know if Kylian would be interested in going to Liverpool and for me personally, I can’t see him making the move to the Premier League at any point during his career.”
