But why did Liverpool choose to look for a midfielder!
Liverpool will do what Liverpool will do. Most of the transfer decisions are influenced by the management and they have defaulted on their promises on multiple occasions. So, there are no surprises there. They would buy a replacement striker/winger if Salah ends up completing the move. Otherwise, no need.
What can Klopp do to retain Moh Salah? last season, Moh Salah was sulking because Liverpool refused to increase his salary. Moh Salah is quite old now, in my opinion, especially since the offer of 150 million euros that was made by Al Ittihad to buy Moh Salah is very big, i am also sure that Liverpool management will be tempted.
Meanwhile, rumors are circulating because the transfer market will close at the beginning of September, Liverpool are still approaching Bayern because Liverpool are interested in buying Gravenbech, but i doubt whether he will be the right purchase for Liverpool, if Moh Salah moves to the Saudi Arabian league then Liverpool will be short of strikers.
I don't see any reason why we'd get Gravenberch, He's on the bench steady for Bayern. The fact that he was reluctant to agree to the signing just made me think that he might not be a good signing for us which is why I'm wondering why? At least we have a solid line up of midfielders right now compared to when we had just lost Firmino, Henderson and Fabinho.
