Liverpool transfer news: Arne Slot's 'pot of money' as rule change paves away for Mo Salah exit

Arne Slot will put out an experimental Liverpool team away to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League tonight with a top-two place already secured. And with only five sleeps left until the January transfer window's deadline, all remains quiet on the transfer front with the Reds more than happy with their current squad.
That means the focus remains on what happens in the summer, with the futures of Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold all still undecided before their contracts expire at the end of June. Still, here are the big stories from in and around Anfield over the past 24 hours.
A FIFA council have approved a change to the rules which could see Mohamed Salah join Al-Hilal before the Club World Cup this summer. The Liverpool star has seen his contract wind down and it is looking increasingly likely that he'll leave Anfield. Salah hasn't been shy in speaking publicly about his situation and, despite excelling on the pitch, he claims there has been little talk from the club about a new deal.
The Egyptian admits he sees this as his final campaign with the Reds and Saudi Arabia has been touted as a likely destination. Al-Hilal are favourites to sign him with the club just ridding of Neymar, which frees up space in the squad for a marquee signing.
Salah is with Liverpool until the end of the campaign, but a tweak to the transfer window rules effectively introduces an “exceptional” transfer window from June 1 to 10, prior to the start of the Club World Cup. Jamie Carragher claims Arne Slot has a "big pot of money to spend" - but Liverpool aren't set to dip into it before the January transfer window ends.
