Liverpool identify ‘ideal candidate’ to replace Mo Salah – he’s ‘world class’ and ‘sensational’

Liverpool have reportedly identified a brilliant winger as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, who has been told that despite his brilliant form for Arne Slot’s side this season, he may not win the Ballon d’Or.

Salah is one of the greatest ever Liverpool players and is hugely popular among the Anfield faithful. The 32-year-old has scored 243 goals and given 110 assists in 391 appearances for the Reds so far in his career and won the Premier League and the Champions League under Jurgen Klopp.

The Egyptian superstar has been in fine form this campaign, as Liverpool look likely to win the Premier League title in Arne Slot’s first season in charge.

The 32-year-old has scored 32 goals and given 22 assists in 42 matches in all competitions this season and is the top scorer in the Premier League at the moment.

Despite all his heroics, Salah could end up leaving Liverpool as a free agent his summer.

The former Chelsea attacker is out of contract at Liverpool at the end of the season, and no new deal is in place yet.

According to Fichajes, Liverpool are planning for life without Salah and have identified Leroy Sane as his potential replacement.

Liverpool view Sane as “the ideal candidate” to replace Salah on the right wing if the Egyptian leaves this summer.

The former Manchester City winger is out of contract at Bayern Munich at the end of the season.

Arsenal are also said to be keen on a deal for Sane, who was described as “sensational” by his Germany international teammate Julian Brandt in November 2023.

Fichajes has added that although there have been no formal contacts between Sane’s entourage and Liverpool, the situation could evolve in the coming months, as the Premier League leaders aim to secure the services of the 29-year-old, who was described as “a world-class player” by Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann in November 2024.

While any report from Fichajes should be taken with a pinch of salt, the claim that Liverpool are interested in Sane is backed by another source.

TBR reported this week that Liverpool are among the clubs that Sane has been offered to.
