Liverpool intends to once again be very active during the summer transfer window, with the priority of finding Mohamed Salah’s replacement.

A blank season, a lost English championship title, elimination in the quarter-finals of the Champions League… Despite more than 450 million euros spent during the last summer transfer window, Liverpool did not obtain the expected results. Quite the contrary.

The level of play offered by Arne Slot and his men did not live up to the massive investments, between lack of consistency in the game plan, difficulties for recruits to integrate, and aging executives. It is therefore time for major maneuvers within the Mersey club.

On the bench side, the Dutch tactician should be maintained according to
Sky Sports. He would even have the opportunity to improve his technical team by welcoming a new trusted man, his former assistant at Feyenoord Rotterdam Etiënne Reijnen.

Salah replacement identified

On the staff side, the leaders have already found the replacement for Mohamed Salah, who played his very last match with the Reds this Sunday against Brentford. Still according to the English media, Yan Diomande is the priority target.

The Ivorian striker from RB Leipzig is nevertheless highly coveted, which will make the task difficult. Its price is estimated at 75 million euros per Transfermarktand his contract runs until June 30, 2030.
