Liverpool's Winger Targets Explored: Replacing Mo Salah

from The Anfield Index Podcast · host AnfieldIndex.com

Liverpool’s summer rebuild is starting to take shape, and the signs are becoming clearer by the day. There is positive movement behind the scenes, with Ibrahima Konaté edging closer to a new contract despite past interest from Real Madrid. While his recent form has divided opinion, the club appears confident in keeping him as part of a defensive core alongside Virgil van Dijk, with emerging talent ready to support. But the real focus is on the attack. Replacing Salah is not about one marquee signing, it is about rebuilding output across the forward line. Liverpool are actively scouting wingers, and several names are now firmly in the frame. From Hoffenheim’s rising creator Bazoumana Touré, to Brighton’s explosive Yankuba Minteh, and RB Leipzig’s elite talent Xavi Simons level prospect Antonio Nusa, the Reds are exploring different profiles across price ranges. Each brings something unique, pace, creativity, and goal contributions, but the challenge will be balancing cost with impact. There are also familiar links resurfacing, including Anthony Gordon, while elite options like Bradley Barcola may depend on Champions League qualification. This is a summer that could define the next era at Liverpool. Multiple attacking additions look likely, and with uncertainty around Arne Slot’s long-term future, the direction of the club remains a major talking point. Learn more about your ad choices.
