Richard Hughes has €100m answer to Mohamed Salah replacement

Now that Mohamed Salah is actually leaving Liverpool, it's clear that a massive shake-up is just around the corner.

Nobody is prepared for the Egyptian King's final game as a Liverpool player with most fans believing that he's one of the best to ever wear the Reds' shirt.

He carried the club to a Premier League title last season and, even though things haven't quite gone to plan this term, he's still an incredible talent who's going to leave a massive void to fill.

Several players have already been suggested as potential replacements with Yan Diomande among the most mentioned.

But, since Liverpool will need someone who can instantly hit the ground running, there could be an even better option on the market for them to explore, especially now that his asking price has been named.

Julian Alvarez would be a perfect deal for Liverpool to try and get over the line

Julian Alvarez has been one of La Liga's most in-form players this season.

Even though the 26-year-old doesn't play in an attacking-team, he's still managed to catch the eyes of most major clubs around the world.

This season alone the Argentinian international has played 48 games and has contributed to 29 goals across all competitions.

Indeed, his best position is as a centre-forward but, during his time with Manchester City, there were occasions when he'd be used on the left.

But, since Arne Slot seemingly wants to start with two strikers whenever possible, Alvarez would be a perfect addition.

And now, an update from Spanish outlet MARCA has revealed Atletico Madrid's asking price for their star attacker.

"The relationship between the club and the player is excellent; Julián is very settled in Madrid with his family and has shown no desire to leave," they wrote.

"Although FC Barcelona is closely monitoring the situation, a transfer seems highly unlikely, as Atlético values ​​the Argentine at around €100 million."

Liverpool have a lot of decisions to make this summer

Every area of Liverpool's team could do with a new player or two being added to it this summer.

But, after their massive spending last term and the fact that they already have a small squad as it is, it's unclear how much change is actually going to occur.

There are several things that the Reds need to figure out before the transfer window opens such as who their prime targets are and what they want to achieve from the window.

Obviously, no matter who is brought in to replace Salah, it's unlikely that they'll have as much of an impact as the Egyptian King.

However, with someone such as Alvarez who has already had Premier League experience, the time it takes him to adjust will probably much shorter.

He's also been playing regular Champions League football since his exit from the Etihad so, if Slot and Richard Hughes are going to spend around €100 million on a new attacker, there isn't really going to be a better option for them than the Argentinian.
