Liverpool can repeat Mo Salah trick to land 'dream' Roma forward deal
A space is opening up on the right side of Liverpoolâs attack.
Mohamed Salah is leaving having reached an agreement to rip up his ÂŁ400k per week contract one year early. That means Arne Slot will be seeking a high-quality replacement.
And Sports Boom is now reporting that the Reds could be about to repeat their Salah trick - and snare a Roma forward once again like they did in the case of Salah back in 2017.
Although the left-footer is not right at the top of the Redsâ recruitment shortlist he is believed to be holding out for bid from either the Anfield side or Arsenal.
âArsenal and Liverpool are no strangers to the skill of the Argentine winger, even if they haven't got the 23-year-old at the top of their long-short list,â the report reads.
âHe has had a couple of meetings with his agents to see if Mikel Arteta or Arne Slot feel the need for a left footed player who can thrive when tightly marked and pose a real goal threat from the flank.
âThe Gunners and the Reds haven't lodged an official bid just yet, but they will keep a close eye on the Argentine.
âHe has been considered as one of many right forwards to potentially replace Mohamed Salah at Anfield when he decides to leave.
He is also attracting interest from Germany but his future could well be in the Premier League.
âOver in the Bundesliga, we have both Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart who have been interested in the Argentine for some time now,â the report reads.
The 23-year-old Argentine, born in Mar del Plata in April 2003, joined Roma from Juventus in summer 2024 for a fee in the âŹ26â30m region and now operates mainly as a left-footed right winger or attacking midfielder.
Standing around 1.82m, he offers a sleek, agile profile and can also feature centrally or as a second striker when required.
