The Egyptian’s contract expires next summer and the Reds are looking for alternatives if their leader leaves
Liverpool considers two players from mid-level clubs English Premier League as a possible winger replacement Mohamed Salah in case the latter leaves at the end of the season.
We are talking about two Africans – a Cameroonian winger/forward Brentford’s Brian Mbeumoas well as his colleague from Bournemouth and the Ghana team Antoine Semeño.
Liverpool’s recruitment team, led by Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes, are scrutinizing potential signings who could become viable transfer targets for the Reds over the coming months.
25-year-old Mbeumo (teammate of Ukrainian midfielder Yegor Yarmolyuk) is having a strong season, with eight goals second only to Erling Haaland in the Premier League scoring race. 24-year-old Semenyo, a teammate of Ukrainian defender Ilya Zabarny, has three goals and one assist in 14 matches.
Note that it was the aforementioned Hughes, who previously worked at Bournemouth, who brought Antoine to his current club. By the way, Richard was also the initiator of Zabarny’s transfer from Dynamo in January 2023.
Salah, 32, is in his eighth season in Liverpool. He was named the Reds’ player of the year for the fourth time at the end of the 2023/24 campaign, and has also set multiple individual records for the Merseyside side. Mohamed’s contract expires in the summer of 2025. This season he has played 14 matches in all tournaments, scored 8 goals and provided 7 assists.
Liverpool ranks second in the championship, one point behind the champion, Manchester City. Today Arne Slot’s team will host Brighton, the meeting starts at 17:00 Kyiv time.
