Bukayo Saka to Liverpool transfer in January 2022? Arsenal sweating over starboy’s future

Bukayo Saka to Liverpool transfer to happen in January 2022? Arsenal sweating over starboy’s future

Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is one of the most exciting youngsters in the Premier League. But it is clear that a player of his calibre should have nothing to do with Arsenal if Mikel Arteta continues to disappoint. They are no way near title contenders.

Their best chance of a trophy this season is the Carabao Cup and they have basically been handed a sure shot elimination when they were drawn with Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in the semi-final. And now, the 20-year-old is already being linked with an exit from the Emirates.

Can Bukayo Saka to Liverpool transfer happen next month?

According to Ian McGarry of the Transfer Window podcast, Saka is interested in a move to Liverpool. The Englishman has apparently asked his agents to get him a contract upgrade at Arsenal, but is keen on joining Klopp’s Liverpool as that will give him a platform to impress at a global stage.

Saka currently earns a measly £30,000-a-week at the Emirates. While that is by no means a bad wage package for a 20-year-old kid. But then again, players like Callum Hudson-Odoi, who are far inferior to him on the football pitch, have been earning way more than that.

Saka for Salah at Anfield?

Klopp, according to McGarry, is also preparing life beyond his current attacking line. Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are yet to be tied down on long-term contracts and can leave in the future, with the club possibly eager to cash in on them before they enter their 30s.

And then, it will open up a perfect spot for the pacey Englishman in Klopp’s team. The transfer may not happen in January 2022. It is too early for that too happen. But it can surely happen in the near future. The situation will be far clearer once Arsenal propose a contract offer to him.

If that doesn’t meet his demands, there is no reason why he cannot join up the Reds at Anfield. And in all honesty, it would once again inject pace and dynamism to a Liverpool attack line that has lost a bit of both in recent months.
