Liverpool have been tipped to trigger Mohammed Kudus’ West Ham United release clause if Mohamed Salah leaves this summer by Dean Jones.
The transfer journalist reports that reports the Ghana star has an exit-clause in his deal at the London Stadium are likely true, although nothing has been confirmed.
And with Liverpool expecting interest from Saudi Arabia for star man Salah, Jones believes that Kudus is someone they may look to as a replacement should the Egyptian leave Anfield unexpectedly during the summer window.
It’s very difficult to get a clear gauge on the terms of any release clause that is in the contract as no one involved is really confirming anything,” he said.“The foundations of the story seem concrete so my hunch is to believe that there is a trigger-figure involved somewhere along the line.
It’ll be interesting to find out what the level of it is and when it kicks in. If it is reasonable then you can imagine he might open up as a potential target for Liverpool, if Salah does end up leaving after all.
West Ham United must do all they can to keep KudusIt’s due to be a major summer of change for the Hammers ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, with several exits expected and a new manager set to come in too.
Lucas Paqueta is someone who is also expected to move on, with Manchester City pushing for a deal to be done, and with Chelsea also chasing Jarrod Bowen, the club cannot allow for Kudus to leave too.
David Moyes did a good job of putting together a fearsome front three with pace, individual quality, work ethic, creativity and goals and it can’t be allowed to be broken up after just one season.
If there is a release clause in his contract then there is little they can do outside of offering him a new contract, but that should be looked into such is his importance to the side.
With so much change expected, stability is required somewhere. Liverpool have billionaire owners who will be keen to back their new manager, but West Ham have to do what is best for them.
