Liverpool are reportedly preparing for the possibility of Mohamed Salah’s departure by exploring potential transfer targets. The Egyptian forward, who has been instrumental under manager Arne Slot this season with 18 Premier League goals and 13 assists, is entering the final six months of his contract at Anfield. While there’s no indication of a new deal being agreed, concerns are growing about his future with the club.
With Salah, alongside key figures like Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, potentially leaving as free agents this summer, Liverpool are considering their options for replacements. One player reportedly on their radar is Brahim Diaz, the Real Madrid attacker. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Diaz could be a potential target for the Reds as they prepare for the possibility of a major squad overhaul.
Brahim Diaz has struggled for consistent game time at Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti due to the stiff competition for places in the squad. This lack of regular playing time could make a move to the Premier League an attractive option for the versatile winger. Liverpool’s project under Arne Slot, combined with their ongoing success in competing for major trophies, might appeal to Diaz, especially as he is also attracting interest from Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.
In addition to Diaz, Liverpool are monitoring Brentford’s Bryan Mbuemo, who has been in impressive form this season. The Reds could also face the potential departure of Luis Diaz, with Barcelona reportedly keen to secure the Colombian winger’s signature. As the summer transfer window draws nearer, Liverpool are positioning themselves to strengthen their squad in case Salah and other key players choose to leave Anfield.
