In recent days, there has been a great deal of speculation in the media regarding Liverpool's star  striker Mohamed Salah potentially going to the Saudi Pro League to join Al Ittihad, where he would  team up with the likes of Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, and former teammate Fabinho.

The question being asked here is, will Darwin Nunez's career at Liverpool take off if Salah does end  up leaving this season? Let's take a closer look.

Will Salah leave Liverpool this season?

Based on the number of star players from the English Premier League and other top-flight football

leagues from around Europe who have recently made the switch to the  Saudi Pro League , it isn't  hard to imagine Salah one day playing there. 

There's that, and the fact that Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad are currently trying to push through  the world's biggest-ever football transfer deal to sign Salah for a reported fee of £215m! How can  Liverpool and Salah turn this extraordinary sum of money down?

If Salah does decide to leave, that would leave Darwin Nunez as Liverpool's main striker, and it could  be just the right kind of move that could help Nunez's Liverpool career reach new heights. Nunez  and Salah work well together, so it would be interesting to see what happens if Salah does leave.

Can Liverpool win the 2023/24 English Premier League title?

To better understand how likely it is that Liverpool can win the 2023/24 Premier League, the best  thing would probably be to look at the latest odds at today's most trusted online bookmakers, one of  which is the official  32 red sport  website.

In the UK fractional odds format, you will see that Liverpool are currently priced at around 9/1 to win  the league outright. The implied probability of them actually winning is 10%.

In comparison, the odds-on favourites, Manchester City, have a 71.40% chance of winning and are  currently priced at around 2/5.

Where are Liverpool in the league?

After just 4 games played, Liverpool are currently sitting in third place with 10 points. They drew 1-1  with Chelsea in their opening game, beat Bournemouth 3-1, Newcastle United 2-1, and Aston Villa 3- 0.  Nunez was the player to make the difference in the game against Newcastle. The Reds were trailing  1-0 after a first-half strike from Anthony Gordon, but then, in the dying minutes of the second half,  Nunez bagged a brace to put Liverpool 2-1 up and secure them three more league points.

Upcoming fixtures

Liverpool have several Premier League, Europa League, and  EFL Cup  games to play over the coming  weeks. Here are some of their fixtures:

● September 16 – Wolves away (Premier League)

● September 21 – LASK away (Europa League group stage match)

● September 24 – Leicester City at home (EFL Cup third round)

● September 30th Tottenham Hotspur away (Premier League)

They also play Union Saint-Gilloise at home in the Europa League on October 5, Brighton away in the  Premier League on October 8, and Everton at home in the league on October 21.

Can Liverpool win the UEFA Europa League?

Again, if you look at the latest UEFA Europa League betting odds, you will see what kind of a chance  Liverpool have of winning the tournament outright.

The good news for Liverpool fans is that they are currently the odds-on favourite team to win at 3/1,  ahead of Brighton (11/1), Real Betis (13/1), Roma (also 13/1), and Atalanta (15/1).

Liverpool were drawn in Group E along with LASK, Union Saint-Gilloise, and Toulouse, and they will  be looking to win their first silverware of the season with or without Salah.
