For Liverpool, nothing would be worse than losing Mohamed Salah for free at the end of the season.
He says that Salah would even be within his rights to consider an offer from his former club Chelsea, should Todd Boehly come calling.
"If I’m leaving Liverpool and they haven’t done much to make their desire known to keep me, and I’ve got an offer on the table of 450 grand a week from Chelsea, then yeah I’m going to go and play for Chelsea," Keys insisted.
He was responding to Jason McAteer and Andy Gray, who had suggested that the question of legacy would keep Salah from moving elsewhere in the Premier League.

Mohamed Salah signs for Chelsea.
And if another club can hand him the chance to further enhance his own reputation on the biggest stage, giving him a platform to pursue even more records (on terms better than those he could get at Liverpool), then he would surely be minded to consider the offer.
Whether anyone would come in and provide that offer is another question
There's only a handful of the top clubs around Europe you could possibly imagine making a move — and you get the sense that the only reason Liverpool itself is considering a deal is because it happens to be the player who already owns Salah.
Yet being the incumbent certainly does put Liverpool in a unique position, and the scenario where it gets financially outmuscled by Chelsea or some such club is currently no more than a figment of Keys' imagination
