Liverpool legend urges Mohamed Salah & Virgil van Dijk to join Harry Kane at Bayern Munich as contract standoffs drag on

Liverpool

<p>No decisions have been made as yet when it comes to the long-term plans of Anfield stalwarts Salah and Van Dijk. Both are, however, running down their respective contracts on Merseyside and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mo-salah-leave-liverpool-ex-reds-star-fresh-doubts-egyptian-future-anfield-convinced-241-goal-icon-sign-new-contract/blt41e747f0ec265efd" target="_blank">heading towards free agency in the summer of 2025</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Egyptian superstar Salah has been linked with clubs around the world, from PSG to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mohamed-salah-told-how-become-bigger-star-cristiano-ronaldo-liverpool-forward-saudi-pro-league-transfer/blt08978cea55a8e779" target="_blank">big-spending teams in the Saudi Pro League</a>, but is being advised to keep Bayern in his thoughts. Any move to the Allianz Arena would see the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-mohamed-salah-bayern-munich-why-liverpool-superstar-transfer-england-striker-better-chance-win-trophies/bltf992646092838116" target="_blank">prolific winger link up with England captain Kane</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Former Liverpool and Bayern midfielder Dietmar Hamann has told <a href="https://www.pokerscout.com/didi-hamann-interview/ " target="_blank"><em>Poker Scout</em></a>: “Mohamed Salah to Bayern Munich would be very exciting. Bayern have Kingsley Coman, who hasn’t been the best recently, Leroy Sane looks set to leave the club, and the most impressive has been Michael Olise who signed last summer, so I think they need two or three wide players for next season.</p><p>“Just like bringing Harry Kane to the club, it would be hugely exciting to see Salah at Bayern but also for the Bundesliga to have a player like Salah. Even if it was just for one or two years, I would absolutely love to see it.”</p>

WHAT DIETMAR HAMANN SAID

<p>Hamann added on the prospect of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/quarter-billion-pounds-talent-gary-neville-stunned-liverpool-contract-mismanagement-trent-alexander-arnold-mo-salah-virgil-van-dijk/blta3ac49e6d152683f" target="_blank">Dutch defender Van Dijk following Salah</a> to Germany: “Virgil van Dijk to Bayern? There are not many teams that he wouldn’t improve. The longer the contract wait goes on the more offers he will have, there will be five or six clubs knocking on his door already.</p><p>“Bayern Munich have had a few issues defensively, but they're pretty solid at the moment. Having said that, if he’s available, it’ll be about if he sees himself in Munich or Milan or wherever. All big clubs including Bayern will have to see what’s possible because there are not many teams who wouldn't improve with him in the side.”</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Premier League leaders Liverpool have not given up hope of thrashing out fresh terms with Salah and Van Dij, as they commit to extended stays in their current surroundings. The Reds do, however, appear destined to part with home-grown full-back <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/trent-alexander-arnold-tipped-challenge-ballon-d-or-real-madrid-ex-liverpool-striker-mate-jude-bellingham-swaying-transfer-decision/blt6667f289e8651a51" target="_blank">Trent Alexander-Arnold, as he seemingly closes in on a move to Real Madrid</a> as a free agent.</p>
