Liverpool’s hopes of finishing in the top four took a hit as they were held to a draw by West Ham in their latest Premier League match. The result leaves them in a precarious position with just three games left in manager Jürgen Klopp’s tenure.
One of the key decisions facing Klopp is the future of star forward Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian has been linked with a move away from Anfield this summer, with Barcelona reportedly interested in his services. Salah has been a key player for Liverpool since joining the club in 2017, scoring over 100 goals and helping lead them to Champions League and Premier League glory.
However, with Salah’s contract set to expire in 2023, Liverpool may need to cash in on him this summer to avoid losing him for free next year. Klopp must decide whether to try to convince Salah to stay or to sell him and reinvest the funds in the squad.
Whatever decision Klopp makes regarding Salah, Liverpool will need to regroup quickly if they are to salvage their season and secure a top-four finish. With rivals Manchester United and Chelsea breathing down their necks, every point is crucial in the remaining matches. Klopp will need to rally his players and ensure they are focused and determined in the final stretch of the season.
