The future of Mohamed Salah at Liverpool is in serious jeopardy. The Reds are said to have rejected a transfer offer worth over €150 million to acquire the Egyptian superstar, who has been extensively linked with a move to Al-Ittihad in recent months. They would need to replace him with someone, and Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior has been mentioned as a possible option.

Since Carlo Ancelotti took over as manager, Vinicius has made tremendous strides. After struggling to make an impression as a young Brazilian sensation, he has developed into one of Real Madrid’s most regular goal scorers and, after Karim Benzema’s departure, possibly the face of the club.

As a result, it’s tough to believe that Real Madrid would ever contemplate trading Vinicius. Still, it seems that Liverpool have been given cause for optimism.

According to SPORT, there may be a glimmer of optimism on Merseyside over the future of Vinicius. As long as there is a chance of signing the Brazilian, Liverpool will keep waiting for him to sign an extension to his contract, something he has yet to do.

Aspirations of landing the Real Madrid superstar were boosted by Liverpool

Rumors about Vinicius’s contract extension have been floating around since at least last year. So yet, though, there has been no formal word.

Why the delay in announcing an extension, if one has been signed, remains a mystery. At first, it was thought that the club was keeping it in reserve for use after a disappointing performance in a crucial match.

However, many similar opportunities have come and gone since then without any kind of statement. The question of whether or not a contract extension has been signed is natural to raise.
