Liverpool ‘big draw’ for ‘top’ Arsenal star as Salah replacement – pundit
Ex-England goalkeeper Paul Robinson thinks Liverpool should be looking to replace Mohamed Salah with Bukayo Saka if the Egyptian was to leave.
The Arsenal winger has been consistently linked with a move to Liverpool of late. Jurgen Klopp is said to be a huge admirer of the Englishman.
This is understandable as Saka has been in sensational form for the Gunners over the past couple of seasons.
Liverpool have ‘quirky German’ and Man Utd in ninth?
The 20-year-old has grabbed eight goals and five assists from his 27 appearances in the Premier League this term.
Arsenal are able to demand a significant fee for Saka as he is under contract until 2024.
Meanwhile, Salah’s situation remains up in the air. His deal is due to expire next year and he is yet to commit his future to Liverpool.
Robinson believes Liverpool are a “big draw” and that Saka would be a suitable replacement for Salah:
“He’s a top player,” Robinson told Football Insider.
“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.”
Elsewhere, Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City are reportedly interested in a move for Torino star Gleison Bremer.
The Premier League sides have a ‘presence’ in the chase for the Brazilian centre-back, along with Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan and Bayern Munich.
That’s according to TuttoMercatoWeb (via Sport Witness), who claim the Torino are ‘awaiting the auction’ in the summer for the 24-year-old.
Tuttosport have added to the speculation on Thursday, claiming many clubs have ‘lined up’ for the ‘complete player’.
The report states that an offer of €25m would be sufficient to persuade the Torino to part with Bremer, but the Serie A side must decide whether to ‘monetise as much as possible’ or accept a player as part of the defender’s sale.
It’s said that chairman Urbano Cairo would prefer to sell the star to England for ‘cash’.
Fortunately, it’s claimed Spurs, Liverpool and Man City are ‘ready to open talks’ for Bremer’s transfer and ‘these three clubs must be held in high regard because compared to the Italians they have larger budgets’.
