Monster £1.2m offer changes EVERYTHING at Liverpool | OneFootball

A new mega offer will transform Liverpool into a different team. If it's accepted, of course.

Liverpool will continue their rebuild in 2026, though it's going to be a bigger challenge than they'd hoped for. The bulk of it should have happed last summer but it's safe to say the squad hasn't quite worked out as hoped.

The Reds have dropped off dramatically after winning the Premier League title, with clear holes appearing all over the place. While it won't take another £400m spend in order to fix things, the club must invest more if they're to fit this jigsaw together.

But there's another variable here and it's a massive one. Mo Salah has a gigantic offer from Saudi Arabia to move over there, essentially as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo as the face of their league.

The Mirror reports they would triple his salary should he make the move in the summer. It's something that will inevitably tempt Salah and we imagine Liverpool would accept an offer for the Egyptian if he wanted to leave.

But in doing so, that offer would transform the Reds into something new.

New-look Liverpool

Losing Salah would send waves through the Liverpool squad, forcing all sorts of change. First and foremost, though, it takes around £400k off the wage bill every week.

That's an enormous amount that could be recycled back into the squad on new contracts or new signings. Given what Liverpool typically pay superstar arrivals, you're looking at two genuine first-team starters for that money.

And the Reds would need at least one, given selling Salah creates an immediate need for a new right-winger. Liverpool literally do not have a replacement and one would have to arrive, something that may take up around half of the freed-up salary and likely the entire transfer fee.

Now, such a player likely has a much more long-term future at Liverpool. At the same time, they're not going to be Salah and any changes in style of play naturally affects the entire team.

Will they be a creator or a goalscorer? Because if they're not both, this team needs to change.

Liverpool aren't turning towards Salah the same way they were last season, for instance, but he's still one of the go-to players every time the team has the ball. It's a team built around the no.11 and has been for some time.

Moving him on brings another change, then. Liverpool would likely want a new focal point - be it Florian Wirtz or Hugo Ekitike or Alexander Isak or whoever else.

And that's another significant change. Losing Salah is far from a simple move and would actually be one of the biggest Liverpool have made in their recent history.

There's no reason that change can't be positive - but it's certainly something that piles pressure on everyone at Anfield as they seek to make the right decisions in the wake of it.
