Salah will be off to Saudi this summer more than likely. Mbappe would be the best possible option to replace his output although it would require a system tweak.

He was nowhere near his prime at all in his last season. He adjusted his game completely and played very well but his brilliant best was in 2019. He lost most of his acceleration and agility by the end of 2021.

The idea that he was still in his prime is just a fallacy. He adjusted his game and made it work as a false nine but by 2021 his acceleration and agility had completely deserted him. His prime was undoubtedly in 2019.
