class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cSeveral executives within the PIF (Saudi Public Investment Fund) and the Pro League believe that the power is with them,\u201d said an official

role in pushing him to the Middle East.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The article adds that although the 33-year-old ultimately signed a new contract at Anfield at the end of last season, Saudi officials feel there was serious temptation for Salah to join earlier.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_time_for_Liverpool_to_let_go_of_Mohamed_Salah\"><\/span>Is it time for Liverpool to let go of Mohamed Salah?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Salah is an LFC legend, having scored 250 goals for the club since joining in 2017, helping them win two Premier League titles, the Champions League and other major accolades in that time.<\/p>\n<p>Still, even the best players come to an end at some point, and Salah has only exceeded his best this season without having any of the impact he has had in the past.<\/p>\n<p>With just five goals in 19 games so far, it might be worth considering letting Salah go and replacing him with a player who has either already reached his peak, or is about to reach his peak in the next couple of years.<\/p>\n<p>Antoine Semenyo might be ideal, and with a separate iNews report linking him with Liverpool, he would make sense as a player to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mohamed Salah gestures during the Liverpool vs. PSV Eindhoven defeat (Photo by Carl
