Liverpool are evaluating fresh attacking alternatives as they attempt to enhance their squad this summer.
Liverpool are preparing for a busy summer as they look ahead to their next chapter without Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds are striving to find a suitable replacement for the German. Who will depart Anfield at the conclusion of the season.
Liverpool are anticipated to enjoy an interesting transfer window. As Michael Edwards returns and Richard Hughes is appointed as the new sporting director.
While their primary focus appears to be on strengthening the backline given this season’s injury issues.
The Reds have been connected with several potential attacking targets as well.
There is still no indication that Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool this year.
However, with Saudi Arabia expressing strong interest. Liverpool must be prepared to potentially replace the Egyptian winger.
According to Sky Sports reporter Patrick Berger. Liverpool is one of the European clubs that has identified PSV’s Johan Bakayoko as a ‘priority target’ this summer.
The Reds face competition from Manchester City and Chelsea. But given his goal and assist totals, it’s easy to see why.
This season, the 20-year-old has eight goals and 13 assists in all competitions. And his wing talent has already garnered him significant accolades.
Bakayoko, who has made nine international appearances for Belgium. Was recently praised by compatriot Romelu Lukaku. The Red Devils’ all-time leading scorer with 83 goals.
The striker, who is now on loan at AS Roma from Chelsea. Feels Bakayoko has the potential to surpass him in Belgium’s history.
“He understands the value of numbers in the game.
His assist and goal totals are improving. Propelling him into the spotlight,” Lukaku remarked.
“I’ve told him how impressive his play is, and if he continues to combine his creative flair with his scoring record. He’ll be a top-tier player.
His potential has no limitations.
I truly believe he has what it takes to outperform me in the long run.”
According to Berger, Bakayoko‘s current contract. Which runs until 2026, does not have a release clause. Although PSV is reportedly seeking a cost of €50-60 million (£43-51 million).
Brentford made a €40 million (£34 million) approach for the winger during the January window, but it was rejected.
