Mohamed Salah<\/a> has been linked to Saudi Arabia once again, while Alisson<\/a>\u2018s contract option has been discussed on the eve of Liverpool\u2019s fixture against Sunderland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia committed to signing Mo Salah<\/p>\n

Ever since transfers to Saudi Arabia became a lucrative option, Salah has been linked with a move seemingly in every transfer window that goes by.<\/p>\n

It is no different now, just months on from signing a contract extension at Liverpool, as according to talkSPORT<\/a>\u2018s Alex Crook, \u201cSaudi deal-makers remain committed to recruiting\u201d Salah \u201cat some point.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cat some point\u201d is a crucial line as it is no secret his deal at Anfield expires in 2027, nor that the player himself did consider the move an option if he had not agreed a new contract.<\/p>\n

\"LIVERPOOL,<\/p>\n

Crook claims that Al Hilal are still believed to be \u201ca leading contender,\u201d but that Al-Qadsiah \u201chave also expressed interest,\u201d with an attempt to land Salah next summer not entirely ruled out. <\/p>\n

It would seem unlikely, but Liverpool are coming to the stage where they need to think of life beyond their Egyptian, though you would assume only a lucrative offer would turn their heads.<\/p>\n

Get ready for more Mo to Saudi chat, then!<\/p>\n

\u2022 We have some positive right-back injury news<\/a> at last! Conor Bradley<\/a> is expected to be in the squad at Leeds<\/a> and Jeremie Frimpong<\/a> is due back in training next week. Hallelujah <\/p>\n

\u2022 Liverpool\u2019s chances of signing Marc Guehi in January have been described as \u201cslim,\u201d<\/a> though a move has not been entirely ruled out. It is one transfer we need to get done<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s changes blueprint for AFCON<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Liverpool will be forced to plough on without Mo Salah<\/a> when he heads to AFCON this month, but the win at West Ham<\/a> may have provided a blueprint for life without him, writes Sam Millne:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile it has to be taken into account that West Ham<\/a>\u2018s attack was nowhere near as mobile as others Liverpool have faced this season, the Reds were very much improved as a team.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of Liverpool\u2019s recurring issues still exist: Wirtz does still need to adapt to the Premier League<\/a>\u2018s pace and physicality, Slot does need to find a way to get Isak at least slightly more involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, this felt like the outline of the coach\u2019s grand plan for the Reds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have said this season that Slot needs to make concessions to his attacking nature. Sacrificing some flare on the flanks may help solve the problems of the Reds being easy to play through.\u201d<\/p>\n
