Replacing elite attackers is never simple.
It takes planning.
And, more often than not, significant investment.
Because when a team loses a key figure in the final third, the impact is immediate.
That is the situation developing at Liverpool, with Mohamed Salah set to leave at the end of the season.
Liverpool set to target two new wingers
According to Ben Jacobs, Liverpool are targeting not one, but two new wingers as part of a wider summer rebuild.
That alone says everything.
This is not a minor adjustment.
Finding a successor to Mohamed Salah has been a long-term objective, with planning already in place well before any formal departure discussions.
But it does not stop there.
The left side is also under review.
Liverpool have been monitoring new signings closely, especially after potential squad changes, and now see it as an area that requires fresh quality.
Two positions.
Two signings.
One clear direction.
The club are expected to spend heavily to address these needs, reinforcing both flanks rather than relying on a single addition.
That approach matters.
Because this is about more than depth.
It is about restoring attacking identity.
Liverpool’s system has always relied on wide players.
When that drops, everything else follows.
And that is what they are trying to avoid.
Top wingers are rarely available.
And when they are, they come at a price.
That is the challenge ahead.
Identifying players who can elevate the attack without disrupting the structure already in place.
This is still early.
No agreements. No final decisions.
But the direction is clear.
Liverpool are preparing to rebuild.
Liverpool could sign two wingers this summer.
On the right, finding a Mo Salah successor is something #LFC have been planning for long before negotiating an exit package allowing the Egyptian to leave on a free.
