Kylian Mbappé has sent a transfer message to Liverpool as two heirs to Mohamed Salah are identified

Media Digest: Kylian Mbappé has received transfer recommendations while Liverpool have reportedly identified two potential heirs for Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool ‘appoint two successors to Mohamed Salah’

Liverpool are reportedly eyeing two potential transfers over the next year as possible successors to Mohamed Salah.

According to Football Transfers, the Reds are watching Juventus star Federico Chiesa and Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sané as they ponder goals to one day replace the Egyptian.

Salah’s contract at Anfield is currently two years old but has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia on several occasions over the summer (according to the Mirror). Therefore, Liverpool would have taken the first steps to search for their potential heirs on the right side of the front. Chiesa appears to be staying at Juventus this season, although a move later in the summer is linked to that, but could be available again next year at $22m (£18m/£20.5m). million euros) than the expected value to be specified.

Meanwhile, Sané has been credited with an estimated worth of around $54m (£42m/€49.3m), with the Germany international contracted to Bayern until 2025. However, next year he will be almost 29 years old.

Kylian Mbappé told why he should consider Liverpool move

Former Chelsea defender and French world champion Marcel Desailly believes Kylian Mbappé would be an ideal fit for Liverpool.

Mbappé is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain within the next 12 months after hinting that he will not sign a contract extension with the French club. The striker was reinstated in Luis Enrique’s squad last week, suggesting he could stay in the French capital this season, but a move next year looks likely, most likely to Real Madrid.

However, Desailly believes Liverpool could be the perfect partner for the 24-year-old. He told BoyleSports: “They (Liverpool) didn’t replace [Sadio] Mané with someone who would be just as good, someone who had his philosophy and influence.”

“I really believe that Liverpool could find Mbappé to fill that void. Unlike Chelsea, Liverpool are not at the end of the cycle. The choice he must make is not one or two years, but four or five.

“Liverpool didn’t sell most of their players, they managed to hold a foundation at Anfield. After many years of well-being, they suffered a decline linked to the sale of Mané.

Liverpool ‘won’t use money as excuse’ – despite influence of Chelsea and Saudi Arabian transfer

Jurgen Klopp has insisted Liverpool will not use the money as an “excuse” in the transfer window, despite growing influence and cash flow from Chelsea and Saudi Arabia.

The big stories this week centered on Liverpool’s defeat to Chelsea in deals for Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, who have both opted to join the London club.

The Reds have responded by signing Wataru Endo, but this has only fueled the fire in many quarters when it comes to the club’s appeal, something Klopp has rejected.

Klopp often provides glowing answers to questions at his press conferences and Friday was no different after being asked if the club is having trouble signing players this summer.

“I’m not sure if it has anything to do with Liverpool, to be honest. More difficult to dress? No,” Klopp insisted.

“Everything is more difficult, everything. There are reasons, you all know them. You’ve probably written about this before, these stories aren’t what I have to say about them. “But it’s really difficult, there are a lot of things that have changed since last year.”

Alluding to Chelsea’s never-ending transfer cases, Klopp continued: “Some clubs do it differently and nobody understands 100 per cent how it works.”

“As a normal club it’s really difficult to follow them. We just watch what they do and that’s fine, not my problem. I don’t blame anyone for what it is.”

Klopp also cited Saudi Arabia’s growing power to throw “infinite sums of money” at players making life “more difficult”, but that played no part in convincing a target to move to Anfield.

“Also, Saudi Arabia is not making it easy. Our window ends on August 31st [note: it’s September 1st] and their window is still open, so for players who aren’t happy, they will come back.

“It’s okay if there’s another league that’s growing, it’s football, that’s fine. We don’t have the right to say it’s not allowed, China has tried, the United States could still try. No problem.

“But infinite money creates problems, that’s how it is. We sit here and [think] ‘what can we do now’. It would be nice if someone could come up with a solution, some rules – I don’t know.

“Yes, it has become more difficult, but not to convince players to go to Liverpool,” he continued.

“One hundred percent, if you called a million players, they would come right away. We just have to make sure you pick the right one, our timing is different from others. “We can’t just spend and watch later, that’s the way things are.
It is good.

“I’m here and I’m very happy with the transfer window right now, our transfer window.

“I know what happened last week, I know what football fans are like and I know they would rather bring in a £110m or £150m player, and your club can do it.

“This is quite nice, but in the end the pitch is the same size, the player doesn’t grow with the money he costs, it’s quite the opposite. “I’m really happy for the moment. We keep looking, we keep looking.

“We will do everything we can to make the best decisions for this club and we won’t use a second of money or anything as an excuse. We just do it with everything we have. That’s the idea. “We do it our way, we are here and we are ready to fight.”
