Rodrygo is perhaps not yet at Salah's level, but he's close and more importantly, he's almost a decade younger. Liverpool should see the 24-year-old winger as their number one option to replace Salah. With the Reds, Rodrygo could continue to blossom into his prime years and become a core piece for the foreseeable future.

Liverpool have plenty of squad gaps on the horizon this summer if they don’t tie up their contract business soon. All of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah are set to depart at the end of this season for free if they don’t agree fresh terms.
