The Reds board had planned to wait until the next offseason before signing a replacement for the Pharaon. Finally, the leaders could move much earlier. Salah’s departure for the CAN would have led the English to hurry and try to fill this position as quickly as possible.
The player who was appointed to take over from Salah at Anfield is Johan Bakayoko, the member of PSV Eindhoven. According to the ESPN website, a raid should take place at the start of the new year. The market value of the Belgian international is around 40 million euros according to the transfermarkt website. Last February, he extended his contract with the Dutch giant until 2026.
Aged 20, Bakayoko was in the sights of Paris SG some time ago. He was the French champions’ plan B in the event of Ousmane Dembélé’s non-appearance. The French international having indeed left his bags near the Parc des Princes, the track was therefore abandoned.
