According to Football Insider, Liverpool are considering a move for PSV Eindhoven’s Johan Bakayoko if Mohamed Salah leaves.

Egyptian superstar Salah has emerged as the latest major name coveted by Saudi Arabian teams, and Liverpool is preparing contingency plans to discover potential replacements.

Belgian ace Bakayoko is definitely on their radar after impressing for club and country in the last year.

Bakayoko, 20, plays the same position as Salah (right-sided inverted winger) and is regarded as one of Europe’s most promising talents.

Last season, the winger scored nine goals and supplied six assists in 39 games for PSV, and he has already excelled this season with two assists in their recent Champions League qualifying win against Sturm Graz.

Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli have been linked with Bakayoko, and Liverpool has now added the attacker to their list of goals as they prepare for the prospect of Salah leaving Anfield in the future.

Salah’s agent, Ramy Abass, recently took to Twitter (7 August) to confirm the winger’s “commitment” to Liverpool.

The 31-year-old Anfield icon has a deal until June 2025.
