Throughout the summer transfer window, Salah was heavily linked with a move away from Anfield.
It was widely reported that Saudi Professional League side Al Ittihad were seriously interested in bringing the 31-year-old to their club.
However, Liverpool stood firm and rejected all offers that came their way.
Looking ahead to the January window, it has been claimed that Al Ittihad could reignite their interest.
With that, Liverpool have been linked players like Leroy Sane, Take Kubo, Jarrod Bowen and Raphinha as they search for a potential replacement for Salah.
