Mohamed Salah’s future at Anfield has never been more certain and the search for his successor is on.
Since the Egyptian king is now in the African Cup of Nations and will not return until the New Year, it is entirely possible that Salah will play his last game for Liverpool after the transfer window opens.

one Public at loggerheads with club hierarchy Discussions of a January sale were sparked, and although things appear to have calmed down a bit, attention now turns to who can replace the 33-year-old.
Even if Salah does play the second half of the season at Liverpool, the likelihood of a contract extension beyond 2027 is slim, so replacing the legendary striker will be Anfield’s top priority regardless.
Liverpool told ideal Salah replacement not for sale
There has been much speculation about who could eventually replace Salah, not just this season but over the past few years.

A number of names have been named as potential options, including Antoine Semenho Seemingly the most likely option in January, one player who has been linked with an eventual move to Liverpool over the years is Michael Ollis.
The Frenchman joined Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace in 2024 and speculation surrounding a future move to Merseyside has been rife ever since.
Now, however, with Salah’s future more uncertain than ever, Christian Falk has told Liverpool that the 24-year-old is not for sale and the chances of Bayern letting him go anytime soon are extremely slim.

Is there any chance of Olise at Liverpool?
Olise, who has contributed 23 goals in 24 games this season, has signed a long-term contract with Bayern and the German giants are planning to sign the Frenchman to a new contract.
The Bundesliga champions are reportedly set to offer Aulis more money and look to extend his contract by another year to dispel any rumors linking the forward with a move away from Bavaria.
Previous reports have suggested It will cost about 150 million euros (approximately £131m) to convince Bayern to sell.
This transfer fee will definitely break Bayern’s current record. De Ligt transferred to Manchester United for 45 million euros, so it will be difficult for the club to refuse such an offer.
Liverpool are unlikely to spend that much after breaking the club’s transfer record twice last summer, while Bayern’s reluctance to sell leaves little room for negotiation.
