'We all know' - Mohamed Salah Liverpool transfer hint dropped as Cristiano Ronaldo prediction made

Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique believes Mohamed Salah is open to a move away from Anfield and could become a bigger star than Cristiano Ronaldo if he were to move to Saudi Arabia.

Salah had interest from Saudi club Al-Ittihad, who were prepared to offer £150million for his services. However, speculation on his future remains a topic of discussion following the departure of Jurgen Klopp.

The 31-year-old will enter the final year of his contract at the end of this month, but in a social media post following the end of this season, the forward appeared to confirm that he will remain at Anfield this summer. But now, speaking to Grosvenor Sport, former Reds left-back Enrique believes Salah is open to leaving Liverpool.

He said: "Mohamed Salah isn’t quite the player he was three years ago. He doesn't take on defenders as much, though he’s still a phenomenal goal-scoring machine. If I were Liverpool, and the right offer came in – say, over £100 million – I’d seriously consider it.

"A move to Saudi Arabia could easily fetch that kind of money. I know Liverpool fans might not agree with me – they love Salah and want all their top players to stay – but sometimes, you have to know when to let go.

"For instance, I’d renew Virgil van Dijk’s contract without hesitation, but with Salah, there’s the Saudi option, and he could become an even bigger star out there than Cristiano Ronaldo. Last year, there were offers from Saudi Arabia for Salah.

"We all know that when an offer is made, personal terms have likely been agreed upon, so it's clear he’s is open to the idea of moving on from Liverpool."
