Liverpool is getting ready to spend €65 million for a long term Mohamed Salah replacement 

Liverpool will not lose Mohamed Salah this summer, but the team is still preparing for life without him.

The Egyptian’s future at the team is still unknown as he approaches the penultimate year of his contract at Anfield and has been linked to moves away from the team during that time.

Under previous boss Jurgen Klopp, the right-winger has contributed to the Reds’ victories in both the Premier League and the Champions League.

Given the uncertainty surrounding his long-term future at Liverpool, the Reds are planning to sign a replacement.

The Japanese newspaper Sports Nippon claims that Liverpool may be considering Real Sociedad’s Takefusa Kubo, a right winger.

Kubo has been connected to a move to Liverpool since January.

Despite rumours that he would be Jurgen Klopp’s last addition to the Reds, the Japanese international continued to play well for the La Liga outfit.

Since joining Real Sociedad in 2022 from Real Madrid, Kubo has demonstrated enormous potential.

At the age of 23, he has already made a name for himself as one of La Liga’s best players.

Liverpool is pursuing the Japanese international and intends to pay a transfer fee of approximately €65 million for him.

They are also willing to give the 23-year-old £240,000 a week in salary. It is evident that the Reds are getting ready to play without Salah, who may depart the team in the summer of 2019.

Mo Salah will be hard for Liverpool to replace

Similar to Salah, Kubo is a left-footed right-winger who enjoys cutting inside to create chances and score goals.

Kubo has shown promise in La Liga, but he will need to increase his goal total to take Salah’s place.

Salah’s twenty-four goals for the Reds dwarf the seven goals the Sociedad winger scored in the previous campaign.

A Liverpool defender wants to leave Anfield with a Champions League club showing interested

Sepp van den Berg is rumoured to have asked Liverpool to lower their asking price for him so he can depart this summer.

Van den Berg, who announced publicly that he intended to leave Liverpool after spending last season on loan at Mainz, has received an offer from PSV Eindhoven.

PSV is eager to sign the Dutchman, according to Voetbal International, but not at Liverpool’s €20 million asking price.

Van der Berg wants to leave Anfield this summer, and PSV, the winners of the Dutch Eredivisie, is interested in signing him. This is because he probably won’t have many opportunity to play regular first-team games with the Reds next season.

The player’s intentions are now clear as Van den Berg’s reps beg Liverpool to reduce their asking price.

The defender believes the Reds are asking for too much money, especially since he only has two years left on his deal.

His thoughts have changed due to PSV, and according to Voetbal International, he and his management have informed Liverpool of their want to go as well.

The defender hasn’t made it into the first team since joining the team and has spent time away from Anfield on loan.

Van den Berg is clearly far down the pecking order and will have a difficult time breaking into the first squad at the Reds, as they currently have options in central defence with Virgil Van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez, and Jarell Quansah.

Liverpool’s roster will grow by one defender.

Liverpool is anticipated to add a central defender to the squad this summer after being linked to a move for Leny Yoro of Lille.

Arne Slot’s squad will have a harder time finding a spot for the young defender in the upcoming campaign.

His career is currently in need of a change of scenery, and Liverpool should be able to recoup some of its costs by selling him and using the money to make some summer transfers.

Although the Reds have not yet begun their transfer window operations under the new manager, they are anticipated to add midfield and defence players
