Mo Salah’s replacement by Liverpool’s backup striker is an unexpected decision.
The refrain "Mo Salah, Mo Salah, Mo Salah, running down the wing. Salah la la la laaaa, the Egyptian King" may not be heard on the Anfield terraces for very long.
There are ongoing rumors about a 31-year-old possibly moving to the Saudi Pro League, leaving a significant gap in Liverpool’s forward line. If Kylian Mbappe leaves Paris Saint-Germain this summer, Liverpool might consider bringing him to the Premier League, provided they can ward off interest from Real Madrid. However, Footballwave reports that Liverpool has an unexpected backup plan if they can’t secure Mbappe.
Reportedly, Liverpool’s alternative choice is Pedro Neto, a 23-year-old versatile player from Wolverhampton Wanderers, capable of playing on both wings. Although Neto might not be the high-profile signing desired by Liverpool fans, historically, signings during Klopp’s leadership have been successful.
Liverpool’s careful transfer approach has served them well, and Klopp, along with his team, deserves the confidence of their supporters when navigating the transfer market.
