Saudi Arabia’s continued interest in Egyptian international Mohamed Salah, who turned 32 this year, has not performed as well as he did in his prime. He remains a threat in front of goal, but the search for a successor is an inevitable task.
While Belgium international Johan Bakayoko, Portugal international Pedro Neto, Cameroon international Brian Mbeumo and Spain international Dani Olmo are all reported as targets, the Turkish prodigy is also being eyed.
According to Spanish newspaper Estadio Deportivo, Liverpool are keen on the 19-year-old Turkish winger Arda Güler, with the idea of replacing Egyptian King.
It is also reported that Real Madrid are not open to a complete transfer, but may be open to a loan move. However, they would prefer a loan move in Spain rather than sending him to a foreign league.
The player moved to the Spanish capital from Fenerbahce last summer, but was hampered by the thick walls of the first team and did not get much action in his first season with the club. Nevertheless, he started to make more appearances in the second half of the season and proved his potential in La Liga.
He showed a high goalscoring rate with six goals in 12 games throughout the domestic league and Copa del Rey, and was also selected for EURO 2024. He has all the skills needed to be a winger and contributes to the team with his shooting and passing from the right wing.
At the moment, it is not known whether the Liverpool squad, including manager Arne Slott, will be serious about acquiring him, but it is a fact that his talent is a talent that they want down their throats.
