Former Liverpool player Danny Murphy has urged the Reds to sign Real Madrid forward Rodrygo as Mohamed Salah’s replacement if the Egyptian international leaves Anfield. Salah’s current contract with Liverpool is set to expire at the end of the season.
The former Chelsea and AS Roma star has yet to sign a new deal with the Premier League leaders.
As a result, the 32-year-old could leave Arne Slot’s side as a free agent in the summer.
However, Murphy wants Liverpool to target Rodrygo as Salah’s successor, describing the Brazilian as a wonderful talent.
“If Liverpool wanted one player to replace Mohamed Salah, the obvious choice for me would be Rodrygo from Real Madrid. I think he’s a wonderful talent,” Murphy told OLGB.
“I don’t know what his contract situation is in Madrid, but I think of him because we’ve seen him play at the highest level and win Champions Leagues in the last couple of years.
“His numbers aren’t like Salah’s, but he’s a match-winner. He can beat people.
“He is quick, and he is playing in an environment where he’s under huge pressure every week and dealing with it.”
