Saudi clubs have been at the center of the transfer market this summer with a string of signings of European players, and the Saudi Professional League has become even more exciting as not only players over 30 but also players in their 20s at the peak of their careers have decided to move on. The Saudi Professional League is becoming more and more exciting.
Egyptian international Mohamed Salah, who ultimately stayed with Liverpool, was the biggest name in the transfer market. Al-Ittihad is not giving up on the popular Saudi winger, and is expected to make another move next year.
The Egyptian winger, who will be 32 years old in 2024, could be sold by Liverpool if a huge offer arrives. The name of a possible successor to the Egyptian winger has been making the rounds in the media every day, and the current Brazilian striker is one of the candidates.
According to The Athletic, Liverpool is interested in 23-year-old Vinicius, who plays an attacking role for Real Madrid, and has put his name on the list of acquisitions.
Other unrealistic players such as Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka and French international Kylian Mbappe are also reported as candidates, and the Brazilian winger, who has grabbed an absolute regular role in the Spanish capital, is hardly a realistic target.
A realistic name to consider is West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen. Mbappe and Vinicius are unlikely to be direct replacements for Salah, as they cut in from the left side and are primarily used to playing on the opposite flank from Salah.
With Luis Diaz, Cody Gacupo, Diogo Jotta, and Darwin Nunez, a group of attackers who can handle the left wing, it is the left-handed forwards who should be targeted.
In any case, the assumption is that Liverpool will receive a big money offer from Saudi Arabia and decide to sell Mohamed Salah. By that moment, Liverpool will have a list of candidates, scrutinizing their abilities and examining their transfer possibilities.
Who will Liverpool get to replace Egyptian King, then…?
