Liverpool have identified a potential transfer target if Mohamed Salah does decide to leave the club at the end of the season.
Salah was heavily linked with a move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad who reportedly made a £150million bid for the player, which was rejected.
Various reports have claimed that Al-Ittihad have not given up on their pursuit of the Egyptian forward and could make a revisit their interest next season.

Should Salah decided to end his relationship with Liverpool, Spanish outlet Fichajes have reported the club are considering a move for Juventus star forward Fedetico Chiesa.
A number of clubs in Europe, including Chelsea, were heavily linked with a move for the Italy international in the previous transfer window but he ended up staying in Turin.
The report adds that Chiesa's contract with Juventus expires in 2025 and the Serie A club could be looking for a transfer fee in a similar region, if they are to offload the attacker.
Former Liverpool winger Boudewijn Zenden feels the Reds won't able to bring in a big name to replace Egyptian forward.
"It's interesting given what's happening in the Saudi league. They know it won't happen now, but they are still trying to sign Mohamed Salah.
"I am happy with Salah staying at Liverpool because it's my favorite club, and I always love to see Liverpool with Mohamed Salah because it will add many opportunities for the team.
"You won't be able to bring in a name like his again.
"After the end of the transfer window, I was very happy that Salah stayed with Liverpool."
