If Mohamed Salah decides to join Al Ittihad, Liverpool might make a play for West Ham’s 26-year-old sensation Jarrod Bowen
Jarrod Bowen may now be on Liverpool’s list of prospective Mohamed Salah successors, claims Football Transfers. The 26-year-old West Ham player will come with a hefty price tag because a transfer at this point in the window will be challenging.
Given how late it is in the transfer season, Liverpool is in a bit of a pickle because they still risk losing star forward Mohamed Salah to Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia. Despite Jurgen Klopp officially stating that the Egyptian will not leave the club, the Middle East side has persisted.
When Liverpool allowed Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to depart earlier in the summer, they opened the Saudi door, which has caused chaos at the club. They may make a last-minute rush to sign a new midfielder before the deadline if they feel they have not adequately replaced the seasoned pair.
At this point, they do not want Salah to go, and they are prepared to obstruct any attempt to go to Al Ittihad. Salah’s transfer from Saudi Arabia is allegedly valued at $150 million, and the winger will also earn a wage comparable to that of Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar.
Any football player in the world would be lured by the money offered, and Salah would undoubtedly succumb to temptation. The Egyptian, according to journalist Rudy Galetti, had informed the club of his intention to quit. Liverpool will face difficulties in finding a suitable replacement with the remaining time in the window.
Liverpool had Joao Felix on their list of prospective replacements before adding Jarrod Bowen. Although the 26-year-old West Ham star’s contract at the London Stadium has two years left, the Hammers do not currently have any plans to move him.
The likelihood of letting their top attacker leave now seems less likely, though they may even extend him a new contract this season. With two goals and an assist in his team’s first three games of the season, Bowen got off to a strong start. David Moyes will continue to rely on the 26-year-old this year.
Additionally, West Ham competes in the Europa League alongside Liverpool, which may aid them in their effort to keep the winger. Bowen may fit Salah’s profile perfectly, but given his market worth, it’s unlikely that he will leave even if he wants to.
Bowen will be given a hefty price tag by West Ham, possibly scaring Liverpool away. Salah may thus depart for an alluring offer, but the 26-year-old West Ham star’s prospects of doing the same are slim at this time.
