Liverpool may reportedly give consideration to selling Mohamed Salah during the summer transfer window.
The forward has already established himself as one of the greatest players in the history of the club, contributing 175 goals and 72 assists from 289 appearances.
During that time, a Premier League title and Champions League trophy count among his accolades, and the 30-year-old was recently happy to extend his contract until 2025.
Since then, the Egypt international has remained a pivotal part of Jurgen Klopp's starting lineup, chipping in with 19 strikes and nine assists during 2022-23.
However, Liverpool are enduring their worst campaign for a number of years, sitting nine points adrift of the top four in the Premier League standings and being on the verge of elimination from the Champions League at the last 16.
Klopp has already acknowledged that widespread changes are required to restore their tag of title contenders, while the club's owners, who are now not open to a sale, are said to be ready to hand the German significant funds to transform the squad.
Nevertheless, much may depend on whether Liverpool qualify for European football's premier competition, with alternative methods of generating money potentially being required.
According to Fichajes, a scenario may arise where it is logical to cash in on Salah later in 2023.
Now 30 years of age, Salah is at a point in his career where his valuation will naturally drop season on season, something which will not be lost on Liverpool.
Although Salah arguably remains the key man at the Merseyside giants, there is an acknowledgment that major additions must be made in midfield as a priority.
With Salah possibly wanting to depart should Liverpool miss out on the Champions League, it is claimed that his club may be open to cashing in on his services should they receive a suitable bid.
Even though he turns 31 in June, Salah still commands a valuation in excess of €70m (£61.8m), but that is a price-tag which will not be retained in the long term.
The report adds that Liverpool's vast options in the final third adds to the possibility of Salah being sold to strengthen other parts of the team.
