Now there&#8217;s a kind of transition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cThere were rumours of him possibly going to Saudi Arabia, so the club is preparing to attract players who can perform at his high level and help the team win trophies.

Liverpool isn&#8217;t expecting anything else from Mo Salah, I think. They need to bring something different that might free Mo Salah to be more dangerous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cYou also need players with legs next to him for defensive balance, which is always difficult to achieve in modern football.
