Salah The current contract expires in June 2025, but talkSPORT understands Liverpool are confident he will do so. extend your stay.
However, should the Egyptian leave amid links to the Saudi Pro League, the former Red murphy has named his ideal replacements.
When it is discussed in the Kick Off yes new boss Arne Slot could help fellow striker Darwin Núñez score 30 goals in a season, Murphy said: “It depends on whether Salah stays or goes too.
“If Salah leaves, they will bring in someone else, someone will have to step up and score 25 goals.”
“I wouldn't sell Salah unless he said: 'I want to leave'. It depends on the amount,” he added. “He is 31 years old, 100 million pounds come in and he wants to leave, he has to leave.”
Murphy was then asked if he would sign West Ham's Jarrod Bowen or Mohammed Kudus, but he replied: “I wouldn't go either.
“If I got £100m for Salah I would give it to Palace and keep them.” Olise and Eze“I would get two for the price of one.”
The Daily Mirror's Darren Lewis said there is “no chance” the pair could sign for £100m, with presenter Adrian Durham asking whether each of them is worth that sum.
This could well be the case, given how crucial both players are to a Palace team now thriving under Oliver Glasner.
Since arriving from Reading in 2021, Olise has scored 16 goals and assisted 25 others in all competitions with 16 of his contributions coming in the season just completed.

Olise and Eze have scored a combined ten goals and provided a total of six assists since Glasner took charge of his first match, a 3-0 win over Burnley on February 24.
Palace could therefore be set for huge interest in the duo this summer, and Murphy is certainly a big fan.
