Liverpool is reportedly assessing several Premier League wingers as potential long-term successors to star forward Mohamed Salah, whose contract expires in 2025. With the Egyptian's future a recurring topic, the club's recruitment team is planning for eventual succession.
According to widespread reports from outlets including The Athletic and Sky Sports, players under consideration include Crystal Palace's Michael Olise and Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon. Both are young, left-footed right-wingers who fit the club's profile for dynamic attacking players.
Olise, 22, has a release clause reported to be in the region of £60 million. Gordon, 23, has impressed since his move to Newcastle and is seen as a player with high potential. Liverpool's interest is described as part of a broader scouting process, with no formal bids currently active for either player.
The situation remains fluid, with Salah's own plans unclear. Liverpool's strategy appears focused on identifying and monitoring suitable candidates who could eventually fill the role, rather than making an imminent move in the current transfer window.
