Revealed: Jurgen Klopp discussed replacing Mohamed Salah with Antony at Liverpool before Brazilian winger's ill-fated £85m transfer to Man Utd

<p>Salah's future at Anfield looked uncertain in the early months of 2022 as the Reds struggled to thrash out a renewal agreement with the forward and his agent, Ramy Abbas. However, on July 1, the Egyptian finally <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/salah-signs-new-liverpool-contract-to-end-speculation-over-anfield-exit/blt6ebf1fa607a120f1" target="_blank">penned a new three-year deal</a> that tied him to Anfield until 2025.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://www.thetimes.com/sport/football/article/mohamed-salah-liverpool-future-contract-arne-slot-anfield-future-bpn6fw2b0" target="_blank"><em>The Times</em></a> has now revealed that Klopp 'discussed' the possibility of bringing in Antony with Liverpool's recruitment team to replace Salah in case he left the club. However, a deal never materialised and the Ajax winger eventually completed a blockbuster £85m ($110m) transfer to Liverpool's arch-rivals Manchester United.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Liverpool fans will certainly be glad that a formal swoop for Antony was never approved. While Salah has maintained his world-class standards and further established himself as an Anfield hero over the last two-and-a-half seasons, Antony has managed to record just 17 goal contributions in 87 appearances for the Red Devils, and is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/antony-told-he-can-leave-man-utd-in-january-after-erik-ten-hag-sacking-with-gbp85m-flop-touted-for-return-to-brazil/blt28e056d4d288294b#cs83a6a8a767d854dc" target="_blank">no longer a first-team regular</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Liverpool have made a great start to the post Klopp era after waving goodbye to the German in the summer, storming to the top of the Premier League and Champions League tables under new manager Arne Slot. However, speculation over Salah's future is mounting again as he edges <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/everybody-will-leave-mohamed-salah-says-always-remember-good-things-liverpool-contract-uncertainty/blt1b0a8540061a7da2" target="_blank">towards the final months of his current contract</a>, and it has been suggested he could make a lucrative switch to the Saudi Pro League in 2025.</p>
