It is definitely going to be closed on September 7th and it is already official.
Salah could definitely have been the reason why Liverpool might have got a lot of money. I am also sure that with so much money Liverpool could easily bring a replacement for him. I definitely think this was a golden chance for Liverpool to get a huge amount of money that was going to give them financial stability for quite a long time. but they have decided that Salah is currently more important to them instead of money. Actually, I personally don't think that was a wise decision, but at the same time, I do respect the decision.
Ok so let us assume that you are right and Liverpool could bring in a good replacement for Salah. Which player would you go for if you were Klopp? Which player is available in the market and ready to leave his club? Osimhen? Not even a chance with the money, which is weird, I agree, but this is the world we now live in when it comes to the transfer market. You would think that with so much money it must be easy to just replace Salah, but as we have seen in this transfer period it is a horror scenario to lack a striker and to try and get one from another club.
