Liverpool’s management has begun searching for someone to succeed Mohamed Salah amid expectations that he is living his last season at Anfield Stadium.
The Egyptian international’s contract with Liverpool expires at the end of the current season, and he previously announced that he has not received any offers from his club to renew it yet.
The names of many players have been put forward as potential options for Salah, the latest of which was West Ham star Mohamed Kudus.
Who is Mohamed Salah’s replacement at Liverpool?
According to recent press reports, Kudus’ name has emerged in the recent period within Liverpool’s ranks and many consider him the ideal choice to replace Salah.
Kudus joined West Ham for 43 million euros in the summer of 2023 and his contract still extends until the summer of 2027, which makes obtaining his services require arduous negotiations with the English club.
As for Liverpool’s management, Kudus has recently provided what justifies his succession to Salah, specifically talking about his great speed and ability to play with the ball, in addition to his shots and skills.
What has Mohammed Kudus done for West Ham so far?
Kudus is in his second season with West Ham, and during the first season he was the undisputed star of the London club.
The Ghanaian international played 38 matches with West Ham last season in the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League, during which he scored 14 goals and made 6 assists.
As for the current season, the 24-year-old played 9 matches in all competitions, during which he scored one goal and made another.
Mohammed Kudus’ market value
Signing Kudus will undoubtedly not be easy for Liverpool, especially since his market value is increasing day by day due to his distinguished level with West Ham.
The famous “Transfer Market” website estimates the value of the former Ajax star at 50 million euros, while what the English club itself estimates is expected to be more than that.
What is Mohamed Salah’s destination after Liverpool?
It remains to be noted that Mohamed Salah’s destination after Liverpool is still unknown, as the player has received many offers and his name has been linked to many clubs.
Saudi Arabian clubs are keeping an eye on Salah, with Al-Ittihad reportedly ready to offer the 32-year-old a lucrative salary of over €100m per year.
In recent weeks, Paris Saint-Germain have been said to be eyeing Salah as a potential successor to Kylian Mbappe at the Parc des Princes, with Juventus also linked with the Egyptian king.
It is worth noting that American club San Diego, owned by Egyptian billionaire Yassin Mansour, is also interested in Salah.
