Liverpool are a far cry from the poorly run vision of incompetence that defined a significant period of the pre-FSG years.

That’s not to suggest there wasn’t also a steep learning curve for the Merseysiders American owners. They first navigated life in the Premier League with club legend Kenny Dalglish, before nearly tasting top-flight glory with Brendan Rodgers, and later striking gold with beloved manager Jurgen Klopp.

Over a decade down the line, the Reds are building a super team under Premier League winner Arne Slot.

And now there’s talk of a potentially sensational succession plan for stalwart Mo Salah to keep the good times rolling at Anfield.

FSG’s agreement with Mo Salah paves way for Michael Olise

Indy Kaila reporting with Football Insider now claims that Liverpool have reached a ‘mutual’ agreement with the Egyptian King ahead of his contract expiring in 2027.

That is, in essence, to make a definitive decision about his future at L4 at the end of the 2025/26 season.

To be clear, Liverpool’s owners are in no rush to put Salah out to pasture. However, they will be open to considering bids for the right-sided winger in the upcoming windows (most likely next summer).

This, in the words of Indy Kaila, will then act as a catalyst for FSG’s long-term plan of securing a long-term replacement for our No.11.

The identity of said successor may be up for update, but we at Empire of the Kop have it on good authority that previously Liverpool-linked Michael Olise‘s name is high up on the shortlist.
