told TNT Sports<\/a>: \u201cI would be very surprised if they are not in the market for these types of players because you have to buy someone who is box office or else you are not replacing him.<\/p>\n\u201cThey have to be top end, top three or four wingers in the world, to replace Mo Salah, because that is what he has been.\u201d<\/p>\n
Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves then preferred three potential replacements.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cTo replace Mo is going to be hard and cost a lot. You need somebody very special.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think if you\u2019re Liverpool you have to go for ready, tried and tested, and for me that would be somebody of the calibre of Olise. If you are talking Olise on the right for Liverpool that is box office.<\/p>\n
\u201c[PSG\u2019s Bradley] Barcola can play on the left and right. There is a young lad at Leipzig, [Yan] Diomande, he is only 19, he leaves people for dead.\u201d<\/p>\n
Confirming his departure, Salah said in a video on social media: \u201cHello everyone, unfortunately the day has come. This is the first part of my farewell. I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to start by saying that I never imagined how deeply this club, this city, these people would become part of my life.<\/p>\n
\u201cLiverpool is not just a football club, it\u2019s a passion, it\u2019s a history, it\u2019s a spirit. I can\u2019t explain in words to anyone not part of this club. We celebrated victory, we won the most important trophies and we fought together through the hardest time in our life.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to thank everyone who was part of this club throughout my time here, especially the teammates past and present.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd to the fans, I don\u2019t have enough words. The support you showed me through the best time of my career and you stood by me in the toughest times. It\u2019s something I will never forget and something I will take with me always.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeaving is never easy. You gave me the best time of my life. I will be always one of you. This club will always be my home to me and to my family. Thank you for everything. Because of all of you, I will never walk alone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Steven Gerrard has told Liverpool they must replace Mohamed Salah with a \u201cbox office\u201d winger this summer after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":496193,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[448,59,708,2227,50,101,25969,56,1955,54,55],"class_list":["post-496192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-front-page","tag-gb","tag-liverpool","tag-mohamed-salah","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-steven-gerrard","tag-uk","tag-uncategorized","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=496192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/496193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=496192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=496192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=496192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
