Is Takefusa Kubo, 'Lee Kang-in's close friend,' set to become a teammate of Son Heung-min or Kim Min-jae?
French outlet Foot Mercato reported, "Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah's contract with the club expires this summer. Salah is likely to transfer. There is significant interest from Saudi big club Al Hilal regarding Salah. However, the possibility of Salah re-signing with Liverpool is high."
Salah is having an overwhelming season with 27 goals and 17 assists in 30 Premier League matches. The outlet added, "Salah is likely to sign a two-year contract extension with Liverpool. In that case, Salah would become a legend who has played for 10 years at Liverpool."
If Salah stays at Liverpool, clubs that were targeting him will turn their eyes to alternative players. Kubo is one notable player.
British outlet Team Talk noted, "With Salah's contract extension uncertain, several clubs are paying attention to Kubo. Besides Liverpool, Tottenham and Bayern Munich are also interested in Kubo. If Salah stays at Liverpool, Kubo might transfer to Tottenham or Munich."
If Kubo goes to Tottenham, he would play as a forward alongside Son Heung-min. A remarkable scene would unfold with the two most valuable players from Asia playing together.
It would also be news if Kubo goes to Munich. The representative forwards and defenders of Korea and Japan, Kim Min-jae and Kubo, would be playing at a big club.
