Johan Bakayoko of PSV Eindhoven is a winger that Liverpool has been impressed with and is considering as a potential Mohamed Salah replacement.
With his Champions League performances for Liverpool, Johan Bakayoko has kept Liverpool’s attention.
90Min claims that Bakayoko is highly sought after by Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.
Over the summer, PSV lost two key players to departure: Ibrahim Sangare and Xavi Simons.
After opting to remain with PSV in August, Belgian winger Bakayoko has drawn significant interest from the Premier League and could be the next to go.
Liverpool’s Johan Bakayoko made an impression.
In August, Dutch journalist Rik Elfrink reported that Liverpool had made inquiries regarding a possible transfer for Bakayoko.
Liverpool has reportedly maintained interest in Bakayoko after being pleased by his performances in the Champions League, according to 90Min.
This season, Bakayoko has contributed one goal and one assist in five Champions League appearances in addition to three goals and eight assists in 14 Eredivisie games.
Bakayoko is reportedly considered by Liverpool as a possible Mohamed Salah replacement, but there is competition for his services.
According to the report, Tottenham is reportedly interested in Bakayoko, which supports statements made by Sky Sports at the end of November.
According to the report, Bakayoko turned down a £35 million move to West London prior to the transfer deadline, and Brentford is reportedly still pursuing him.
It’s unclear if the Bees can entice Bakayoko this time, but the Premier League is showing interest.
Liverpool is searching for Salah’s replacement.
The news that Bakayoko could be Liverpool’s replacement for Mohamed Salah should come as no surprise to fans who believe Salah will leave the team in 2024.
Salah remains a target for Saudi Arabia, and a sizable offer at the end of the campaign might make Liverpool executives take notice.
Given his incredible form this season, it would be very difficult to replace the Egyptian in Liverpool’s attack.
Right-sided wingers who like to cut in with their left foot will be identified by Liverpool.
Agent Gerard Witters has described Bakayoko as “explosive.” With his potential to become a superstar, Liverpool may place more faith in a budding talent than the final product.
