Liverpool may not need a new Mohamed Salah just yet, but there will come a time when the right-wing spot in the Reds' team is occupied by someone else

That is according to journalist James Pearce who, writing for The Athletic, explained: “Liverpool want to keep Salah and the player is keen on staying put.” It is not as simple as that for a player who will turn 33 in the summer and is already the club’s highest-earning player on a basic wage of £350,000 a week.
