Liverpool consider Kudus as Salah replacement

Liverpool are closely monitoring Ghanaian winger Mohammed Kudus, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, as the club prepares for the possibility of losing Mohamed Salah.

With Salah’s contract renewal negotiations ongoing, Liverpool are exploring alternative options in the winger market.

Kudus, a standout performer for Ghana and current club, West Ham United, has emerged as a top target due to his goal-scoring abilities and technical skill and could be moving to the Merseyside club should a deal with their Egyptian star fail.

Salah remains a crucial figure at Anfield, whose contract negotiations with Liverpool have yet to yield an agreement. However, the club is preparing for all scenarios, including the possibility of parting ways with their star forward. Kudus, 24, is seen as a potential long-term successor to Salah, given his ability to play across the front line.

Liverpool’s interest in Kudus signals their intent to maintain attacking depth and quality, ensuring that the team remains competitive should they lose Salah.

With the January transfer window approaching, this development will be one to watch as Liverpool may look to make a move depending on how the Salah situation unfolds.

The coming weeks will likely determine whether Liverpool can retain their top scorer or pivot to a promising young talent like Kudus to reinforce their squad.

Meanwhile, the Ghana star is focused on leading the Black Stars to victory against Sudan in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers after being named captain for today’s crucial encounter.
