The Englishman has been on fire this campaign already, netting two goals and providing one assist in three Premier League games. Operating as a right-winger, we are told that Jurgen Klopp believes that Bowen could represent an ideal replacement for Salah in the short-term.

The Egyptian is being sounded out over a possible move to the Saudi Arabia Pro League. CBS have reported that Al-Ittihad are prepared to offer a €150million package for Salah, but Liverpool are adamant that they do not wish the sell their club legend, particularly so close to the transfer window concluding.

The offer would mean that Liverpool will get a guaranteed €100m, with an additional €50m in potential add-ons.

Meanwhile, Salah would receive a salary package comparable to Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo, among the highest in the world. Both superstars moved to the Pro League this window.

Salah has netted 187 goals in total for the Reds in 307 matches. He is considered to be one of the club’s greatest-ever attacking players.

Liverpool have already sold their captain Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to clubs in the Pro League this window. Any possible sale of Salah would come with huge backlash unless the side were able to bring in a star-name replacement.

Bowen, meanwhile, has played 161 matches for the Hammers, scoring 42 goals. He found the back of the net 13 times in all competitions for his side last season, while the season prior he scored 18 goals. Bowen is contracted at West Ham until 2025 while FootballTransfers’ Estimated Transfer Value model values the attacker at €47.8million.
