According to reports, Liverpool are considering making a move for Borussia Dortmund winger Donyell Malen as a replacement for Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool are on the verge of losing their star player Mohamed Salah in January due to intense interest from Saudi Arabia.

A few days before the transfer deadline, Al-Ittihad submitted a last-minute £150 million offer for the Egyptian.

However, Liverpool rejected the offer and resisted the last-minute pressure to part ways with their top player.

They are now looking at the possibility of losing the Egyptian and have identified the Dortmund winger Malen as Salah's replacement.
