Mohamed Salah’s future remains in the dark.Talks with Liverpool are ongoing, but no agreement has been reached between the two sides, and Al Hilal from the Saudi Arabian side are planning to flick on a huge salary to force a decision to go to the Middle East.
Regardless of whether he signs a new contract or not, a successor in his mid-20s or younger is essential, as he will turn 33 this June. A number of strikers and wingers have appeared in the media in the past, but none of them have led to concrete talks.
One of the candidates, and a proven Premier League player, is Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo. His speed and decisiveness on the counter are attractive, and he has combined with Ivan Toney and Yoane Wissa to score goals on numerous occasions.
According to Rousing The Kop, the 25-year-old French winger is among Liverpool’s top targets of interest and the club are considering making a move for him this summer. The report also states that they are continuously following the player’s progress.
He is also a strong, physical left-back. He is an excellent chance-maker and finisher, and his style of play is similar to that of the Egyptian King. It remains to be seen how far he can go in possession football, but it is understandable that strong clubs are interested.
It is said that he is looking to end his six-year spell at Brentford and step up in the summer of 2025, and his new home could be Liverpool. The transfer fee is also likely to be between £50m and £60m.
Will the Cameroon winger, who has also attracted interest from Arsenal and Newcastle United, make his mark at Anfield next season…?
