Philippe Coutinho is gone.
But hey, no need to panic too much, eh Reds? Especially not when you’ve got Mo Salah banging in goals for fun. If that continues, Coutinho will soon be a distant memory.
But wait. What’s this?

Translated, Gianluca Di Marzio, a name that’s always doing the rounds on Twitter when the transfer window is open, reckons Barca’s big money capture of Coutinho could prompt Real Madrid to respond… with a move for Salah.
According to the Sky Italia journalist, the Egyptian has been identified by the European champions as a potential “Galactico” signing – concerning news for Liverpool supporters.

Obviously, a January bid for Salah is highly unlikely, but the possibility of Real making a serious play for him the summer appears to be increasing. And as Liverpool fans know all too well: when one of the big Spanish clubs want your star player, sooner or later, they always seem to get their way.
Since his arrival at Anfield from AS Roma last summer, only Harry Kane has scored more Premier League goals than the former Chelsea player. He currently has 17 league goals to his name, also scoring five times in the Champions League group stages.
