Khaberni - A press report revealed the most prominent candidates to succeed the Egyptian star, Mohamed Salah, in the ranks of Liverpool, in the light of news circulating about the Saudi Al-Ittihad Club negotiating to sign him during the upcoming summer transfer period.
According to the British «Daily Express», Liverpool plans to make a strong deal in the summer market if Salah moves to Al-Ittihad, after reports talked about the start of negotiations between Al-Ittihad Club and the player’s agent, as Salah has become more open to the move than before.
Who will replace Salah if he leaves?
The report clarified that RB Leipzig's winger, Yan Duomande, is among the top names proposed to replace the potential departure of Salah, valued at about 87 million British pounds. However, Liverpool will face strong competition from Manchester United and Arsenal to acquire his services.
French player Bradley Barcola, from Paris Saint-Germain, is also considered among the candidates to succeed Salah, especially since he is not a regular starter for his team, which could facilitate the idea of his transfer to «The Reds».
The Brazilian, Raphinha, remains an option, but completing the deal for Barcelona will not be easy, as the Catalan club is keen on keeping his services. However, financial pressures could push Barcelona to consider letting him go if they receive an attractive financial offer.
The report also mentioned that Bayern Munich's star, Michael Ulis, is a suitable option to succeed Salah. However, he is still under contract with them until 2029, meaning his club’s management is not under any financial pressure to sell him.
