As the relegation race heats up, Liverpool may be able to get Mo Salah’s replacement for a steep price.

If Mohamed Salah decides to move to the Saudi Pro League this summer, Liverpool may need to acquire a new right-winger.

Liverpool may try to take advantage of the relegation struggle to recruit Bryan Mbeumo of Brentford. This summer, the winger—who Stan Collymore has previously named as Mohamed Salah’s perfect replacement—might be had for a very reasonable price.

Following Jurgen Klopp’s announcement that he will be departing the team at the end of the season, the Reds are now giving their hunt for a new manager top priority. The midsummer vacancy has been connected to Roberto De Zerbi of Brighton and Xabi Alonso of Bayer Leverkusen, though several options will be investigated.

Upon taking over in the Anfield dugout, Klopp’s replacement will have their own transfer intentions, but if Salah leaves, finding a right-winger might become a pressing priority. This summer, Saudi Arabian teams are anticipated to make bids for the Egypt international, and Liverpool may find it difficult to turn down a sizable offer.

If the Reds do decide to pay their club legend a salary, they will need to find a ready-made replacement. If Brentford is dropped to the Championship, Mbeumo might be able to fill that role for a very low cost.

The 24-year-old winger had a strong start to the 2023–24 season with seven goals and three assists in 15 appearances until sustaining an ankle injury in the first few days of December. The previous season, he had nine goals and eight assists in 38 league games.

With his cutting edge in the final third and his speed and strength, Mbeumo can pose a threat to defences whenever he gets a chance. Therefore, if Brentford is demoted, they will be lucky to keep the Cameroonian international on staff. Thomas Frank’s team is only five points ahead of Luton Town, who play this coming Saturday.

In order for the Bees to turn things around after losing five of their previous six games, Mbeumo needs to get off to a quick start when he returns. If not, Liverpool might follow Collymore’s advice and jump to sign the former Troyes player.

Speaking to Caught Offside earlier today, I said, “I think top sides should be looking into Bryan Mbeumo more closely—I adore him! Some of you might be surprised to hear this, but Mbeumo is my favourite Premier League player. I believe he is excellent.

“He’s very direct, makes excellent runs in the channels, can drop deep, holds the ball up really well, is very supportive of his striking partner, gets in the box and poaches goals, and he’s physically strong,” is how I describe him every time I watch him. I could write forever. What a fantastic player! Jurgen Klopp should give Brentford’s number 19 some thought if Salah decides to leave Liverpool this summer.
