Signing Werner Might Push Salah Out – John Aldridge

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane might leave for Real Madrid or Barcelona if RB Leipzig striker, Timo Werner joins Liverpool, according to John Aldridge.

Jobn feels signing the Bundesliga star man would be a sensible move because of the success of Roberto Firmino thus far.

According to him, improving the team is compulsory as successful clubs cannot afford stand still and not build on what they have.

He added that it feels good to see top players praising Liverpool because it proves that everyone is captivated by the football Klopp and his boys are playing right now.

His words, “Improving a Liverpool winning machine is a tough task, but Klopp and Liverpool’s transfer maestro Michael Edwards need to consider how to do that later this year, because standing still is not an option.

“Who knows, Mo Salah or Sadio Mane may be tempted away if Real Madrid or Barcelona come in for them and football teams are always a work in progress, with Liverpool likely to target some key areas when they look to recruitment.

“I can see Lovren, Lallana and Shaqiri leaving, so Klopp will want to replace them with young and hungry players who fit into his mould.

“Prolific RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner would be a great option and the joy for Liverpool will be that every player will want to be part of their success story.

“I saw Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe eulogising Liverpool in an interview a few days ago and it confirmed that the world’s greatest players are captivated by the story Klopp has pieced together.

“With the manager signing a contract to commit to the club for another four years, there is no reason why Liverpool cannot win trophy after trophy as they don’t just have the best team in England and possibly Europe right now.

“No, the beast Klopp has on his hands is even bigger than that.

“Liverpool have the best squad in terms of the balance of world-class players, incredible heart, a stadium and a fanbase that is unique in the game and a set of young players who are proving they are knocking on the door and ready to step in when needed.

“It’s a mix that makes Liverpool irresistible right now.”
