Sky Sports reported that Liverpool’s management has settled on the identity of who will succeed Mohamed Salah in the Reds’ attack next season.
It seems that Salah’s new contract with Liverpool has become difficult, so the management has begun to think about who can succeed the Egyptian international at Anfield.
According to the network, Ademola Lookman, the star of Atalanta, is currently the first choice on Liverpool’s table to succeed Salah.
Liverpool’s mission to acquire the Nigerian international will not be easy, as he is receiving interest from Arsenal, in addition to his strong welcome to the idea of moving to the Saudi League in the summer of 2025.
Lookman will certainly leave Atalanta at the end of the current season after his disagreement with Gasperini, but he has not decided where he will go.
Liverpool’s management, in turn, has contacted the player’s agent to explore his position on moving to the Premier League and trying to agree on his salary, and so far the results are unclear.
If he moves to the Reds, this will not be Lookman’s first experience in the Premier League, as he previously played for Charlton, Everton, Fulham and Leicester, before moving to Atalanta in the summer of 2022 for 10 million euros from German Leipzig.
It is noteworthy that Gasperini attacked Lookman after Atalanta’s exit from the Champions League, and the player responded strongly, considering what happened to him “far from respectful.”
