Reports have suggested that most of the attacking players, including Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa, are on their way out. The most likely of these is the Uruguayan striker, who has struggled as a centre-forward.
An offer has been received from Saudi Arabia in the winter transfer market and it is expected that a club in the Middle East will present an offer this summer. Although he was not released in the winter due to difficulties in securing a replacement, he could well be sold in the summer when there is more time.
Attention is focused on strikers such as Newcastle forward Alexander Isak and Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitiké, who are tall but can link up with others in attack, but their problem is that their transfer fees are sky-high.
According to French outlet L’Équipe, Merseyside clubs are also keen on Wolfsburg striker Mohamed Amoura as an alternative target with a smaller budget. In addition, Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, who are also looking for a scorer, are also interested.
The 24-year-old forward, who joined Wolfsburg on loan from Royal Union Saint-Giroise this season, has quickly become a popular brand name with 10 goals and nine assists in 24 Bundesliga games.
The German club have already decided to exercise their purchase option and he will make a full transfer for around €14 million. The Algerian attacker, who has developed his talent in his new country, has also scored 13 goals in 32 games for the country’s full national team.
He can play as a winger as well as a centre-forward. It is unlikely that Liverpool are serious about acquiring him, as he is a small 170 cm forward, very different from Isak and Ekitiké.
However, he has been recognised for his decisiveness since his time in Belgium. He has scored 67 goals and provided 29 assists in 183 games so far in his career and could be a valuable asset if Diaz and Chiesa are released.
So is there a future for Liverpool to carry out a major reshuffle of their attacking line-up and bring the 24-year-old striker, who has made a name for himself in the Bundesliga, to Anfield…?
