Imagine the first thing you do to your new manager after Klopp is tell them they will be having to replace Salah. Some people must really want Slot to fail...
The knock on effect of that going wrong could do more damage to us than losing out on any fee this year. Let's give Slot the best possible chance to succeed and keep our best players.
If Darwin had scored 20+ this season, maybe it becomes a more feasible conversation perhaps. But I think it's just too much of a risk for new boss to deprive him of our main goalscorer. He hasn't had best of season in front of goal but he's still been so quality, racked them assists up as well as good goal return.
Slot might look at how Mo reacts to not being in the starting XI and wonder how he handles as that going forward. And also how he would react if Slot were to take penalty duties from him in favour of a player or players with a better conversion rate.
As for the Mo/Darwin numbers 2023/24 (excluding penalties)…
Nunez 17 goals + 13 assists
Salah 18 goals + 13 assists
