It has been revealed that manager Jurgen Klopp has considered Antony as a replacement for Mohamed Salah.

Football media "90MIN" said on the 20th (Korea Standard Time), "Antoni is a player that coach Klopp considered as a potential replacement ahead of Salah's last contract extension."토토사이트

"Sala entered the final year of his contract in the summer of 2022, and Klopp began to kick a replacement out of concern that he might lose Salah. Klopp turned to Antony. Antony played brilliantly for Ajax under Erik ten Haach. Liverpool could have entered the bid to sign Antony, but there was no need to do so as he re-signed Salah," he explained.

Salah is a living legend of Liverpool. Salah joined Liverpool during the 2017-18 season and is the one who overcame the dark ages. Salah's performance is evidenced by his record. He played 366 games in Liverpool alone, scoring 221 goals and 99 assists. In addition, he has won various competitions including the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League, and the FA Cup.

Liverpool almost brought Antony in as replacement for Salah. Antony developed relationship with Ten Hach when he was in Ajax, which helped him to wear the Manchester United uniform. When Ten Hach joined Manchester United, he hired Antony who joined Ajax. The transfer fee was a whopping 100 million euros.

Ten Hag actively used Antony. Antony played with the opposing defense based on his outstanding skills from the right side. He had eight goals and three assists in 44 games in all competitions in the 2022-23 season. He showed good performance, but it was regrettable considering the transfer fee of 100 million euros.

He was at his worst last season. Antony appeared in matches consistently, but failed to generate offensive points. He finally reported his first assist in the league after 31st round of the Premier League. His first score came in the 35th round. Antony only scored one goal and one assist in 29 league games.

Antony did not earn the trust of Ten Hag this season. It was due to the aftermath of his poor performance last season. Antony played in five games, four of which were substitutes. However, Antony's position has become even narrower as Ten Hag was recently replaced by Manchester United. It seems unlikely that Hoobeng Amorim will appoint Antony.

If Liverpool had said goodbye to Salah and signed Antony, they would have shed tears. Antony has made 12 goals and 5 assists from the 2022-23 season. Salah has scored 65 goals and 40 assists from the 2022-23 season. Even Salah exceeded Antony's career offensive points with 18 goals and 10 assists in the league alone last season.
