Bukayo Saka: Pundit issues ‘big’ Liverpool transfer claim after Romano talks update
Liverpool should move for Arsenal forward Buyako Saka if Mohamed Salah leaves the club, according to Paul Robinson.
The former Tottenham and England goalkeeper, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, suggested Saka, 20, would be interested in a move to Anfield to play under Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds are currently well stocked in attack, but Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are out of contract in the summer of 2023.
According to Fabrizio Romano (15 March), contract talks with Salah are “still broken”, with neither side willing to bow to the others demands.
ESPN reported last month (3 February) that Liverpool and Man City are keeping tabs on Arsenal’s Saka, who is under contract until June 2024.
When asked by Football Insider‘s Dylan Childs if Saka was capable of replacing Salah, Robinson said: “He’s a top player.
“There is always a draw with Liverpool, especially when you see the relationship Jurgen Klopp has with his players. You can see his man-management skills. Who wouldn’t want to play for him?
“Liverpool are competing for every major honour. It is a big draw to play for that club right now.
“If they can finance a move for Saka, that would be the level of player they should be looking at to replace Salah if he left.”
Salah has been the Premier League’s standout player this season.
He has contributed 28 goals and 10 assists in 36 appearances across all competitions.
