Liverpool is preparing for a busy summer as Arne Slot gets ready to take over from Jurgen Klopp as the new manager, with Richard Hughes set to become the new sporting director. Together with Michael Edwards, Slot and Hughes aim to maintain and build upon the legacy of Klopp’s tenure.
As Liverpool navigates these changes, the club may see alterations to its squad, with several players approaching the end of their contracts. Mohamed Salah’s future with the team is particularly uncertain, raising questions about Liverpool’s plans for him next season.
Recent reports from France suggest that Liverpool is interested in Union Saint-Giloise forward Mohamed Amoura, who has been likened to Salah. L’Equipe indicates that Liverpool is competing with Brighton for the 23-year-old’s signature.
Born in Tahir, Algeria, in May 2000, Amoura began his career with ES Setif before moving to Swiss club Lugano in 2021, where he earned the nickname “little Salah” due to his speed and playing style. After joining Union Saint-Giloise last year, he had a standout debut season with 23 goals and seven assists in 44 appearances. He notably impressed against Liverpool in the Europa League, scoring twice.
Amoura has also represented Algeria in the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year. His current market value is reported to be €10 million, though his club values him at €20 million (£17 million). If Liverpool can secure him for under £20 million, he could potentially be a successor to Salah. Fans are keenly awaiting further developments as Liverpool gears up for a new era under Slot.
