The future of Mohamed Salah at Liverpool is wrapped up in uncertainty.

The Egypt international will become a free agent at the 💝end of the season.

Salah recently said that Live🐎rpool have not spoken to him about handing him a new deal.

TalkSPORT pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor has urged ��Liverpool to hand Salah a new contr🎐act and pay up to £500,000 a week if need be.

Liverpool fans would love to see Salah stay beyond the end 𝔍of the season, but Fenway Sports Group (FSG) may have something e🍎lse in mind.

According to , Liverpool insiders believe that Ben Doak could replace Salah in the first team.

Doak can play as a winger or as an attacking midfielder. The 19-year-old is on loan at Middlesbrough ꦕat the moment.

Also starring for Scotland, Doak ha💝s scored one goal and given three assist🎐s in 10 Championship matches this season.

Giv꧅eMeSport has noted that while Liverpool rate Doak highly and have been impressed with his “dribbling, vision, and creativity”, they are “trying to work out whether his work in the penalty box is going to be goo𝔉d enough to truly reach first-team level”.

“His shooting in particular is under the microscope✱ in terms of where and when he goes for goal and how that would convert into Premier League football,” adds the report.

Liverpool’s immediate plans regarding Ben Doak

While he is doing extremely well at the moment, as TBR reported over the weekend, Liverpool want to keep Doak on 🍸loan at Middlesbrough for now.

The Scotland international is expected to finish the season at Middlesbrough, and then Liverpool manager Arne Slot will take a close look at him.

Clubs in the Premier League are interested in Doak, but Liverpool a♌re not planning to rush his development.
