Liverpool hero Danny Murphy believes Mohamed Salah will be allowed to leave this week.

There's talk of Salah leaving for Al-Ittihad after today's clash at Newcastle.

Murphy told the Daily Mail: "Ultimately it'll be the player's decision. If Salah really is set on being the poster boy in an Arab country, I don't see how it will make business sense for Liverpool to turn down 100million for a 31-year-old who is going to be unhappy.

"Jurgen Klopp strikes me as a similar type to Pep Guardiola: they regard their club as bigger than any player and wouldn't want to force someone into staying.

"On the pitch, though, it would be a huge blow, particularly in the short term. Salah has a history of scoring lots of goals, and important ones as well."
