The longer it goes without him signing a new contract, the less chance there is of him staying. Given his knob head agent was leaking stories every couple of months last time and hasn’t said anything so far, I assume there isn’t anything talk to leak…

 

"new club"? i thought it didn't work like that over there unless it was one of the "poor" teams like where gerrard and henderson are? i thought otherwise PIF agree to stump the money and land the player at the club of their choosing that they own.

No idea. 4 different PIF owned teams bidding for him would be odd. 
 

I wonder if any Saudi teams will come back in for Diaz?

[VladimirIlyich]

I'd be surprised if he left but not astounded,but at this stage I dont give a fuck as we have lots to play for. One game at a time.

[Code]

Rudy Galletti, he sounds about as trustworthy as Rudy Giuliani.

PiL > PIF.

There's a chance that the club want to do the deal in the summer. I'm not sure I agree buy having lost Mane and Bobby for essentially fuck all they may view it as needed money to replace him as he isntbgetting younger. Fuck knows who could replace him though can't think of many stand out right wingers these days.

The only way he can stay is if he signs an extension, we can’t turn down >£100m. 
 

As for a replacement, Olise, Bakayoko, Raphina & Sane are likely all obtainable (assuming Sane continues a contract stand off with Bayern), although only Sane is currently anything like approaching Mo’s quality. 
 

I read we really like Openda from Leipzig. He has an €80m release clause, although it can’t be activated until 2025. He’s more left / central anyway.

That Bakyoko is nowhere ready. Brentford had a 35ml offer for him accepted and he turned them down. I know he's young and his assist numbers are good but I watch him against Rangers in the champions league qualifiers and he was average at best. 

 

 

Olise looks good, but he needs to improve his goal scoring if he was to replace Mo. 

 

Sane will resign with Bayern. Using our supposed interest the same way Mbappe camp use our 'interest' to play clubs off against each other

 

Raphina time has past. Reckon he might have linked well with Nunez as a 9, he far more created than inverted winger. But once you start stinking it up at Barcelona there's no way back

[3 Stacks]

If Olise keeps adding more goals, he will be a star and would be a worthy replacement. He's not the type of attacking player we typically look at though. He doesn't have the physicality or intensity we go for. Jota, Diaz and Nunez are all fighters and Gakpo is 6 foot 4.

Loads of right wingers here.

Don’t disagree on Olise and Bakayoko having to up their numbers. Olise would count as home grown as well, which would be handy. 
 

Or we could play a right footer there, have them hug the touchline and allowing Trent to step up more. 
 

I hope Mo signs an extension and has another go at the CL with us, I somewhat accept that it’s 50/50 whether he does or not. 
 

I don’t think it’s the end of the world if Mo does go though. He’s obviously been a great player for us, we’ve never struggled for creating chances under Klopp. Mo has been great for the system and the system has been great for Mo.

Pfft, inverted right wingers at best. Here’s where we need to look for a traditional right winger….

Fuck off to the January transfer thread with this shite. 
 

This is not a thread to discuss bank average midtable players, this is a thread about the best player in our recent history. 
 

Some of the names mentioned above here should be worthy of a ban. 

[Anubis]

Probably should have twice the number of assists he has.

 

 

[Scott_M]

[Sweeney287]

I'd he gutted if he left as I think he's still got a couple of superb years ahead of him. Rarely injured, amazingly consistent numbers and just don't think there is anyone out there who we can get to replace him. 

 

We might get 100/150m for him which is amazing given he's 32 at the end of this season but I think it's a very short sighted approach and would significantly weaken us. 

 

Really hope he signs an extension.

I don’t think that is fair at all. 
 

Shirley, a thread dedicated to one of our best players ever players should also be where we discuss his contract situation and potential replacements. 
 

I was on the fence in August, I didn’t really have a preference either way. I actually think his all round game is probably the best it’s ever been. I sincerely hope he extends again. 
 

A few pages back I put I hope his contract is continually automatically renewed like Messi’s was at Barca and I still hope this is the case (well, until it wasn’t anyway). It protects the club from losing millions in a transfer and protects Mo that if he drops off and is phased out, there is an agreement ahead of time he can move on. 
 

However, if he really wants the additional Saudi money (which he might) then it’s foolish to deny we are in the last 6 months of his career with us and need to be looking ahead. 

[VladimirIlyich]

'Please don't put your hope in the hands of a multi millionaire footballer,he'll likely disappoint you.' To paraphrase some second rate tribute act.

[Moo]

I'll be shocked if he doesn't leave in the summer.  We might even get more for him than we would have last summer as I think the Saudi's will want him to be their statement signing next time round.  Hopefully he can have an amazing last few months with us on his return from the Afcon, he and we deserve it.

I agree , I think he will go . Some of this talk of contract extensions may in part be designed to push up the price .

[LFC 6 Times]

Yeah, not sure selling the best player in the world having one of his best seasons ever would be the shrewdest move.

i think it could go either way - but i would be surprised if he stays and doesn't sign a new contract. i think looking at some of his ex-teammates effectively playing in a seniors league, extending their retirement, i think he will be thinking he can do that a bit further down the line. of course it is also questionable just how serious this saudi project will remain now they have won the WC. Qatar got bored with PSG pretty much as soon as the WC was finished. 

[LFC 6 Times]

I think Mo’s too serious a player/person to consider Saudi at this point in his career. He still has 3-4 years at the very top.

it seemed pretty clear he had considered it last summer and basically left it to the club to decide. fortunately, it was late in the window, so we held on.
