JAKARTA - Liverpool are preparing to lose their mainstay player, Mohamed Salah. The club began to look for a replacement.
Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pedro Neto is Liverpool's target to replace Salah. The reason is, Liverpool cannot linger to defend Salah.
The Reds had rejected an offer from a club in Saudi Arabia that offered 150 million for Salah's purchase. However, it may not be repeated in the future.
Salah kemungkinan, cepat atau lambat, bakal meninggalang dari Anfield. Apalagi kontrak pemain tim nasional Mesir in tersisa dua tahun lagi.
Liverpool are open to accepting offers from any club, including from Saudi Arabia.
Liverpool will finally release Salah because Juergen Klopp's manager is reshuffling the squad, especially in the middle and forward sectors. Previously, Liverpool had released the tandem Salah who had played at Anfield for a long time, such as Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
So far, Klopp's reshuffle has not met expectations. Only Dominik Szoboszlai is considered capable of playing with the third scheme up front. This makes Liverpool have little choice ahead.
Liverpool are also eyeing forwards. One of them targeted was Neto, the Wolves winger. Neto actually failed to show his best performance for two seasons, 2021/2022 and 2022/2023, due to several injuries.
The injury he sustained allowed him to score only one goal and two assists from 31 games during the two seasons in the English Premier League.
However, the situation was different when entering the 2023/2024 season. He was fully fit into one of the shining players. Neto was recorded as scoring one goal and making four assists from seven games with Wolves.
Neto himself still has a contract with Wolves until 2027. This means that Liverpool must be prepared to spend a lot of money to get this Portugal national team winger.
In addition, Liverpool are likely to compete with Arsenal. This North London club has been eyeing Neto for a long time. However, Wolves have not been willing to release this former fostered player from Lazio.
