25-year-old forward Moussa Sylla joined German giants Schalke from his native France in the summer of 2024, and despite being in the Bundesliga 2 for the first time, he has shown a high decision-making rate in front of goal.
He has scored 13 goals in 20 games, despite being recently sidelined with a muscle fibre tear.
The Malian attacker, whose valuation on the market is also rising rapidly, is exploring the possibility of leaving Schalke after just one year. According to Football Transfers, the player’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, has approached clubs in various countries, and Liverpool are likely to be included.
He is also said to have approached other Premier League clubs and is looking to step up his game this summer. He has played mainly in France, including for Monaco and Caen, and has also played in Holland for Utrecht.
He was a regular in the under-category of the French national team, but has had a slow start to his career. The 25-year-old striker got his career back on track when he moved to Germany, but he lacks a lot of things to make a difference at Liverpool.
It is hard to imagine a future at Anfield, no matter how cheap, and a move to a strong club is premature. Even though he is in his mid-20s, he needs to first move to a mid to lower-tier team in the Premier League to show his ability in English football.
Also, going to Liverpool would be aiming too high, as he is only scoring in the second division, not the Bundesliga. Will the midfield forward, who is currently on the market, be able to move to the club of his choice…?
