BREAKING NEWS: live from Anfield, “He’s good but not the kind of player I want to work with, his work rate is poor and I can’t cope with him. I think he should get a new club cause I already have his replacement who I think I better than him.” Liverpool boss Arne slot is showing the ‘strongest interest’ in Eredivisie hitman, who he wants to replace Darwin Nunez. According to Reports, slot feels the 21-year-old is the right profile of player they need to bolster the club for the upcoming window, both in technical ability and mentality. Nunez out! – Liverpool Arne slot wants Eredivisie replacement.

Liverpool is reportedly leading the race to sign Eredivisie striker Ricardo Pepi, who could potentially replace Darwin Núñez in the future. The American forward, who has drawn attention from major clubs like Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid, could make a move to Anfield as early as next year, according to *CaughtOffside*.

While Borussia Dortmund is also keeping tabs on Pepi, Liverpool is said to be ahead in discussions. With Mohamed Salah’s contract situation uncertain and Núñez struggling with consistency, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp appears to be looking at promising attacking talent from his homeland. Pepi, currently playing as a center-forward for PSV, could be available for around €25 million—an amount that aligns with Liverpool’s strategy to secure a young player with both technical ability and a strong mentality.

At 21, Pepi has impressed this season, scoring seven goals in 16 appearances. He was previously linked with a move to Manchester United in December 2021, but his value has risen significantly since then. Key figures at Liverpool, such as Michael Edwards, reportedly believe Pepi’s profile fits the club’s needs.

The uncertainty surrounding Salah’s future continues to affect Liverpool’s planning. His contract expires in 2025, and while a move to Saudi Arabia has long been speculated, *Masrawy* reports that Salah’s preference is to remain in top European football. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is now seen as the front-runner for his signature, though Barcelona has also shown interest after attempting to sign him in 2022.

Salah’s contract extension talks have proven complicated, with reports suggesting he is willing to stay but only if offered a three-year deal, a request that has made negotiations difficult given his age. This has fueled growing interest from clubs abroad. Over the summer, Saudi Arabia made a record bid for him, while PSG and Barcelona continue to closely monitor his situation.

If Salah were to leave on a free transfer, PSG appears to be in the best position to secure him, although Barcelona could also emerge as a serious contender. With both clubs tracking his status, Salah’s future remains one of the most closely watched stories in football.
