Jurgen Klopp 'considering selling Salah, Mane or Firmino to fund Haaland bid'

One of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino or Sadio Mane could reportedly leave Liverpool in order to free up funds for their pursuit of Erling Braut Haaland.

Jurgen Klopp could supposedly be prepared to break up Liverpool's famed attacking trio in a bid to raise funds for a move for Erling Braut Haaland.

Borussia Dortmund's star striker continues to go from strength to strength at the Westfalenstadion, and the 20-year-old is being linked with almost every top club in Europe after netting 31 goals in 30 games this season so far.

While the Norwegian would be available for £68m in 2022 due to his release clause, an intense bidding war for his services could take place this summer, and Liverpool manager Klopp is reportedly prepared to go to the extreme in order to win the race.

According to Mundo Deportivo, one of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino or Sadio Mane could be heading out the door if the Premier League champions seriously consider a swoop for Haaland this summer.

Salah's future at Anfield is a major talking point after he refused to rule out a move to Barcelona or Real Madrid, while his fellow winger Mane has also been linked with a move to the latter.

Haaland is also understood to be on the radar of Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, with a recent report claiming that the Blues could attempt to strike a swap deal involving Timo Werner.
