Liverpool plan to offload Mohamed Salah to Al-Hilal in a deal that could see Marcos Leonardo move to Liverpool. According to a report in Sports Boom, Liverpool wants to rejuvenate its attacking line and revitalise the Brazilian tradition. The club’s historical ties with Brazilian players may lead Marcos Leonardo to favour a move to Anfield. Liverpool can offer the player a project that guarantees Champions League football and trophies. It is claimed that this deal is unlikely to proceed, regardless of Salah’s future, because Liverpool would likely need to increase or match the €40m that Al-Hilal paid for Marcos Leonardo.

Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo has been associated with a potential transfer from Al-Hilal, with Premier League clubs Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur reportedly interested in the 22-year-old. According to SportsBoom, the Saudi club could approve his departure for a fee of around £55 million, and the same report claims Leonardo hopes to earn approximately £150,000 per week. A potential move to Liverpool could be affected by the club's significant investment in other forwards, while Tottenham require a striker and have scouted Leonardo on numerous occasions.
