Liverpool are already planning for life after Mohamed Salah as uncertainty continues surrounding the future of the club’s biggest star.
Salah remains one of the most important players in Liverpool’s modern history. However, with the Egyptian confirmed his exit from the club earlier this year.
So, the club has started preparing possible alternatives behind the scenes. Arne Slot wants to reshape parts of the attack ahead of next season.
Liverpool will be hoping for a better run as they look to reclaim the Premier League. For that, the right wing has become one of the main priorities internally.
Liverpool are searching for a player capable of adding pace, creativity and unpredictability in one-on-one situations. They have already added several names to their list of targets.
However, one young attacker has now emerged strongly on Liverpool’s shortlist despite belonging to a direct Premier League rival.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool are seriously considering a move for Estevao Willian as a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah.
The Brazilian has already attracted huge attention because of his explosive style and massive long-term potential.
Liverpool reportedly believe that the Chelsea star could become one of the best attacking players in Europe in the coming years.
However, reports suggest Liverpool would be willing to offer between €80 million and €100 million if the opportunity to sign him becomes realistic.
Chelsea reportedly still view Estevao as a major part of their long-term future. But financial pressure and squad restructuring could eventually force difficult decisions at Stamford Bridge.
Any deal would still be extremely difficult because of the rivalry between the two clubs. However, Liverpool are closely monitoring the situation ahead of the summer transfer window.
