Liverpool Player Tipped for Shock January Exit After Woeful Start to Season

A January transfer has been suggested.

A Liverpool star has been tipped to make a shock January exit following their draw against Sunderland.

Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Sunderland on Wednesday.

A late Nordi Mukiele own-goal cancelled out Chemsdine Talbi's opener in the second-half.

Liverpool are now unbeaten in two games, having suffered three consecutive defeats across all competitions, including a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Manchester City.

They secured their latest league point without Mohamed Salah in the starting XI.

Arne Slot dropped Salah against West Ham United and kept him on the bench for their fixture against Sunderland.

The 33-year-old eventually made an appearance in the second-half after being an unused substitute against West Ham on Sunday.

Salah has struggled for form this season, having weighed in with just five goals in all competitions.

Speaking after Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Sunderland, Jamie Redknapp has admitted he would be 'amazed' if Salah sees out the entirety of his deal.

The Reds legend penned a new deal in April, tying him down to the club until 2027.

But Redknapp doesn't believe Salah will complete his new contract and even suggested a January move could be on the cards.

"He's a Premier League great, a Liverpool great and that's why I don't think this is going to end well," he said on Sky Sports. "It will be a difficult situation now because the manager, when you've got someone who is so good, so important to the team, in and around the dressing room and how they react and act in training.

"He's not going to want to be on the bench, he hasn't signed this contract to see his career out. He wants to play week in, week out."

Redknapp added: "I'll be amazed if he sees out the last two years of his contract, or year and a half. I don't think this helps the situation one bit. Nothing will surprise me in football - whether it's in January or maybe in the summer.

"If the right club was to come around... a lot will be decided by this man. He's earned that right. And if he says: 'Look, if I'm not going to be a starter for you, I'm not one of those players who is going to hang around. I will go wherever it takes'. I still feel he will want to play in Europe."

Where could Mohamed Salah go in January?

If Slot continues to not select Salah and the player himself has had enough, a move to Saudi Arabia could be reignited given their long-time interest.

Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad pulled out all the stops to sign the star forward in August 2023, lodging a monstrous £150 million offer.

However, Liverpool turned down Al Ittihad's advances, but it could be a different story if they come calling again in January.

The Saudi Pro League view Salah as the next marquee signing after the arrivals of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Neymar.
