Could be Salah's farewell, Liverpool face tough match against Newcastle

Liverpool will play a very difficult match on Sunday in the third round of the Premier League. They will go to the northeast of England to play against Newcastle at St. James' Park. There they will be looking for their second consecutive victory in the tournament, after the 3-1 win over Bournemouth last weekend.

For this match, Jurgen Klopp will have good news: he will be able to use Alexis MacAllister despite being sent off in the last game. The Reds initiated a claim for considering that the red card was incorrect and were successful, so the Argentine midfielder had his suspension withdrawn. Liverpool's likely starting lineup will be: Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joseph Gomez, Virgil Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo; Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota.

The match against Newcastle could be Mohamed Salah's farewell to Liverpool. The Egyptian winger received a multi-million offer from Al-Ittihad of Saudi Arabia, who want to form a top-class attacking duo with Salah and Karim Benzema. For that they are willing to pay more than $125 million a year to the player and almost $100 million to the Reds to let him leave.

Although initially the information indicated that the winger had no intention of leaving England this summer, there are more and more rumors about a possible departure. In fact, transfer journalist Rudi Galetti claimed that Mohamed Salah spoke to Liverpool's chiefs and told them that he wants to leave for Al-Ittihad.

The manager's opinion

Liverpool have no desire for Salah to leave, especially not now, with just a few days left until the transfer window closes. Coach Jurgen Klopp spoke about it this week: "It's a real problem because as long as you have the chance to react it's pretty much part of the business a little bit. When we can't react anymore it's a catastrophe".
