Liverpool makes Mohamed Salah ‘decision’ as they target two forwards.
The Egyptian was typically excellent on the pitch and finished as runner-up to Harry Kane in the chase for the Premier League golden boot.
But away from the performance, there were increasing murmurs that the Egyptian desires a new challenge.
Salah has no deficit of admirers across Europe and has frequently described his burning desire to compete for silverware each season, while he has done little to crack down on transfer thought.
But the Reds remain convinced they can keep hold of the 28-year-old and will reportedly enter discussions to prolong his deal this summer.
Meanwhile, Anfield chiefs are also assumed to be targeting two forwards who could provide competition and depth for Salah and his attacking colleagues.
Liverpool have been advised to strike a settlement for Leeds United winger Raphinha by former Anfield fan favourite Jose Enrique.
Raphinha enjoyed a wonderful debut season with the Whites and made a mockery of his £17million price tag with six goals and nine assists in the Premier League.
His accomplishments for Leeds have drawn the attention of Manchester United and Liverpool, according to widespread reports, and he recently opened up on his bond with his fellow Brazilians who play for the latter.

“In Liverpool, there is Alisson who is from the South too, so everything stays the same. There is still Fabinho, who is from the same place as Firmino and I,” Raphinha told Portuguese outlet UOL Esporte .
“In fact, did you know that Firmino was the first guy who texted me when I came here? He’s a great friend.”
Enrique is keen for Anfield chiefs to sign Raphinha, insisting he could be a more affordable attacking alternative compared to Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe.
“Hopefully we can sign him it will be great addition for our squad, the former Reds left-back wrote on Instagram.
“What do you think? I will go more for a player like Haaland or Mbappe but him Is a lot more affordable.”
As well as targeting Raphinha, Liverpool are also in the chase for Red Bull Salzburg striker Patson Daka, according to reports in his native Zambia.
The 22-year-old scored a remarkable 34 goals for the Austrian champions and many Premier League clubs are understood to be monitoring his development.
ZamFoot reports Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal are keen on Daka, but West Ham are in pole position for his signature.
