Former Liverpool midfielder believes Real Madrid’s Rodrygo is the obvious replacement for Mohamed Salah - although he’s warned the Reds they will need to sign more than one.

Salah’s future at Anfield remains uncertain, with the Egyptian’s contract set to expire at the end of the season. Although the 32-year-old has been offered a new deal by the club, he has insisted both parties are still some way off reaching an agreement when questioned on it recently.

What’s more, speculation is growing that a move to Saudi Arabia could be in the offing. Should Salah decide to leave Liverpool this summer, Murphy feels there is an obvious candidate to replace him.

“If Liverpool wanted one player to replace Mohamed Salah, the obvious choice for me would be Rodrygo from Real Madrid. I think he's a wonderful talent,” Murphy told OLBG.

“I don't know what his contract situation is in Madrid, but I think of him because we’ve been seeing him play at the highest level and winning Champions Leagues in the last couple of years.

“His numbers aren't like Salah's but he's a match winner. He can beat people, he's quick, he's playing in an environment where he's playing under huge pressure every week and dealing with it.

“Additionally they've got so many talented players at Real Madrid that maybe there is room for one of them to leave. So that would be the obvious standout for me.”

Murphy though feels one signing would not be enough to replace Salah, and he has suggested there are three options currently in the Premier League that could solve issue for Liverpool.

“It will take more than one player to replace the void left by Mohamed Salah and for me there are two obvious ones, Antoine Semenyo and Jarrod Bowen,” Murphy added.

“Semenyo I like as a player but might not quite be ready yet, he still needs time to grow, whereas Bowen is tried and tested and is nearly always West Ham’s best player when he is fit.

“He is a super talent but his age profile might be pushing it for Liverpool. If Liverpool could bring in both Bowen and Tyler Dibling from Southampton, I think that would be brilliant.

“A young, super-talent, full of confidence, plays on that right side, comes in on his left foot, beats people. I think that those two could help Liverpool if Salah leaves. If he left tomorrow and Liverpool got Bowen and Dibling, that would be brilliant.”
