Liverpool could be set for a major attacking rebuild this summer, with reports suggesting the club could sign two new wingers — one for the right to replace Mohamed Salah and one for the left following Luis Diaz’s departure.
Finding a successor to Salah is something Liverpool have reportedly been planning for a long time, even before discussions around allowing the Egyptian to leave on a free transfer. Replacing a player of Salah’s goals, assists and overall impact is not something that can be done easily with just one signing, so it makes sense that the club are looking at multiple attacking options.
On the left side, Liverpool have also been monitoring the market since Luis Diaz left for Bayern, meaning both wings could look very different next season. This suggests the club could be preparing for a major refresh in the attacking areas rather than just one big signing.
One player being heavily linked is Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, who is also attracting interest from Manchester United and Bayern Munich. Leipzig reportedly value him at around €100 million, but there is a belief among interested clubs that the price could drop during the summer transfer window.
Liverpool are also known to admire Michael Olise, but Bayern are currently not planning to sell him. Meanwhile, PSG are working on extending Bradley Barcola’s contract and are not interested in offers, and the same applies to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who has also been linked with Premier League clubs.
All of this shows that Liverpool are clearly active in the winger market and are exploring multiple options. With Salah leaving and changes already happening in the forward line, this summer is shaping up to be one of the biggest transfer windows Liverpool have had in years.
It looks increasingly likely that Liverpool’s attack next season could look very different from the one fans have been used to over the last few years.
