Salah is a Liverpool legend with 211 goals and three Premier League Golden Boots under his belt, but at 31, more than one former player has suggested it is now or never for the Reds to cash in on a player who's highest ETV was €85.6m per FootballTransfers.

It is well documented that the Saudi Pro League would like him to be the next face of their league after Cristiano Ronaldo, and he might prefer a whole new project to an altered one at Anfield post Jurgen Klopp.

While the Egyptian King hasn't lodged a transfer request, young defender Sepp van den Berg has after publicly blasting his employers for the lack of first team opportunities they have given.

And now The Express have highlighted two more players who could be joining Salah and Van den Berg in the Liverpool exit lounge.

Tsimikas and Kelleher to follow Salah?

"If Konstantinos Tsimikas' status as a backup option at Anfield wasn't confirmed before last season, it certainly is now," they write of a player who saw Andrew Robertson and Joe Gomez get more minutes than him at left-back last season.

" The search for regular minutes might be something Caoimhin Kelleher also looks to address when the window opens for business," they add.

While Tsimikas has no takers, at least publicly, yet, Kelleher has been linked with a summer transfer to Celtic to replace the retiring Joe Hart.

The Irishman, who is now perennial understudy to Alisson, recently hinted that he could leave.

"I was with [Klopp] for a number of years and he said: 'you became a brilliant goalkeeper in that time,'" he explained. "He's going to follow my career wherever I go. He wants to see me playing and to be happy."
