Alan Hutton explain why Liverpool could decide to let Mohamed Salah leave

Liverpool may decide to sell Mohamed Salah this summer, according to former Premier League right-back Alan Hutton.

The Reds are expected to offer the Egyptian international a new four-year contract for more than £80 million, according to Football Insider.

The Merseysiders and their star forward have been in talks for months.

According to Football Insider, Salah wants to stay at Anfield and is willing to make financial compromises on his £500,000-a-week demands.

However, if contract talks do not progress quickly, Alan Hutton believes the Reds will want to sell the 29-year-old. According to Football Insider, the Scotsman said:

“Well, I think you’re looking at now. Surely, if they’ve offered him that, that’s their top level.”

“Unless Mo Salah has this thing in his mind where money’s not the issue, it’s not about that. It’s not about the length of contract, it’s about another challenge in some other league.”

Hutton has insisted that it should be a no-brainer for Salah to sign a new deal if he is happy at Anfield.

“If that is is his wish, then it’s up to him. Then it’s about: ‘Okay, my time’s up here,’ and Klopp saying: ‘Okay, I’m going to sell you because you’re into your last year.”

He added:

“If he’s happy at Liverpool, that is an unbelievable contract at a club where he’s happy. He’s done ever so well so there’s no problem there for me.”
