Liverpool set to finalize deal for £50 milliom star

Mohamed Salah has been Liverpool’s key right-winger for several years, but he is now in the final year of his contract and past his prime.

Consequently, Liverpool risks losing him for free next year. Should they fail to retain him, Arne Slot will need to find a replacement for the Egyptian in 2025.

Tony Cascarino, speaking with a fan on talkSPORT, suggested that Liverpool might look to sign Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo as a potential successor to Salah. Cascarino highlighted several reasons why Mbeumo would be a fitting choice. He commented:

“I remember saying to you about if Mo Salah left, Mbeumo would be the one I would have gone after. He’s got so much about him, he’s got goals, he’s got durability. He’s just a nuisance every time he plays.”

Brentford initially sought £50m for Mbeumo, but with his contract nearing its final year next summer, they might reduce their asking price to over £40m if he does not agree to an extension in the upcoming months.

Mbeumo, who turned 25 last month, primarily plays as a right-winger but can also operate as a center-forward. He demonstrated his abilities in the Premier League last season with nine goals and six assists in 22 starts, and he has already netted three goals in four appearances this season. Given that his prime years are ahead of him, he could be a valuable acquisition for Liverpool.

According to report – Liverpool Set to Offer £50.6m, Poised to Make Final Move for Playmaker

In recent weeks, the situation with Liverpool has been quite amusing. It seems they have been connected with more players after the transfer window closed than they were during the recent summer period.

Even though Liverpool only added Federico Chiesa to their squad for this season, they have made an excellent start to life after Jürgen Klopp. Under Arne Slot, the team has won every match so far and has done so without conceding a single goal.

Liverpool is once again rumored to be interested in La Liga playmaker Takefusa Kubo from Real Sociedad.

Last month, the Madrid-based outlet AS reported that Liverpool was prepared to pay Kubo’s release clause of £50.6 million, but the player chose to remain with Real Sociedad. The 23-year-old also turned down substantial offers from Saudi Arabia to stay in Spain.

Now, another Spanish source, Fichajes, states that Liverpool has not given up and will make another attempt to secure Takefusa Kubo.

The media outlet also mentions that Kubo has a release clause of £50.6 million, and Liverpool faces no difficulty in meeting that amount.

Given Liverpool’s willingness to spend more to sign Martin Zubimendi in the summer, they are unlikely to encounter problems paying Kubo’s release clause. The challenge with these Real Sociedad players has been persuading them to move.

There seems to be a strong loyalty among players at the Basque club. Players like Kubo, Zubimendi, and Mikel Oyarzabal have opted to stay despite significant interest, but this might change in the future.

Takefusa Kubo, who scored the decisive goal against Espanyol last month, is deserving of playing for a top club, and a transfer to Liverpool would be ideal for him.

The Japanese talent could potentially replace Mohamed Salah at Anfield, and only time will reveal whether Liverpool can finalize a deal for him in upcoming transfer windows.
