Liverpool Plot Sensational Move for Mason Greenwood as Salah Successor 🚨
Liverpool are once again making headlines in the transfer market, with reports from both England and France linking them with a shock move for Marseille forward Mason Greenwood. The 22-year-old has now emerged as the club’s top candidate to replace a departing forward, with Mohamed Salah’s future the biggest talking point heading into the summer window.
Fresh off lifting the Premier League title in Arne Slot’s debut season, Liverpool are showing no signs of slowing down. Instead, they appear ready to reshape their attack for a new era at Anfield.
Slot’s brave new Liverpool
When Arne Slot was appointed, many doubted whether he could live up to Jürgen Klopp’s legacy. But the Dutchman silenced critics by guiding Liverpool to the league title at the first attempt, playing with control, intensity, and consistency. That success has raised the bar even higher. Now, Slot faces the next big challenge — leading Liverpool through a generational transition, starting with their forward line.
Greenwood: from exile to redemption
Once hailed as one of England’s brightest attacking prospects, Greenwood’s career at Manchester United was derailed by off-field controversies and legal matters. After a loan spell at Getafe helped him regain rhythm, his move to Marseille has seen him rediscover form and confidence. His goals, creativity, and versatility across the front line have re-established him as a top-level talent.
Now, Liverpool are considering him as Salah’s possible heir — a move that would send shockwaves across English football. A former United academy product crossing the divide to Anfield is almost unthinkable, but it underlines just how highly Slot rates his ability.
Salah’s uncertain future
The Greenwood links come amid growing speculation about Salah. With Saudi clubs circling and his contract situation unresolved, this summer could be the moment Liverpool finally decide to cash in on their record-breaking forward. Salah’s legacy is unquestionable — hundreds of goals, countless records, and a place in club history — but Liverpool know they must prepare for life beyond him.
Greenwood is not a like-for-like replacement. Instead, he represents a long-term project: still young, technically gifted, and eager to prove himself again at the very highest level. Slot reportedly believes he can develop the French-based forward into a world-class attacker tailored for Liverpool’s high-pressing, high-tempo football.
Marseille’s dilemma
For Marseille, losing Greenwood would be a major blow. They took a gamble on him, and it has begun to pay off in Ligue 1 and Europe. Yet if Liverpool arrive with a serious offer, resisting could be difficult. For Greenwood himself, the chance to return to the Premier League — and to do so at a title-winning Liverpool side — may be irresistible.
Fans divided
Among Liverpool supporters, reactions are mixed. Some see Greenwood as a bargain opportunity to secure a generational talent for the next decade. Others remain hesitant, pointing to his past controversies and questioning whether he can handle the spotlight at Anfield.
But one thing is clear: the story has momentum. Liverpool’s forward line is at a crossroads, and Slot has already proven he isn’t afraid of bold decisions. Backed by success and belief from the board, the Dutchman may view Greenwood as the keystone of his vision for a Liverpool side built to dominate well beyond the Salah era.
If the move happens, it could be one of the most controversial — and defining — transfers in recent Premier League history.
