Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah He recently stated that there is no update between his contractual situation at the club and that both parties are “Far away” in terms of accepting newer terms. That said, the Reds have big shoes to fill if their talisman leaves the club after the conclusion of the campaign as a free agent.
According to Sky SportsBournemouth's Antoine Semenyo and Brentford star Bryan Mbuemo are two players Liverpool are “monitoring closely” after their fantastic starts to the 2024/25 campaign. Halfway through the season, Semenyo has five goals and two assists while Mbuemo has He scored 11 goals and gave three assists..
A comprehensive offensive renovation in play
Antoine Semenyo and Bryan Mbuemo have proven their credentials in the first division this season and it only seems a matter of time before they both join bigger teams. It is unlikely that Liverpool will be able to snap up either player in January, although if they can sign both in the summer it would do justice to replacing Mohamed Salah following his possible departure.
Semenyo is a capable left-back by trade, but has been deployed as a right winger, left midfielder, right midfielder and central forward, while Mbuemo, a naturally right winger, has also been useful as a number nine this season. By signing two players, Liverpool can ensure that their attacking department is covered for the foreseeable future.
Beyond the future of Mohamed Salah, that of Luis Díaz transfer away from Anfield has also been speculated several times. Darwin Núñez has also not lived up to expectations since his departure from Benfica, so there is every reason for Liverpool to consider a serious offensive renewal even in the event of Salah possibly renewing his contract at the club.
Together, Mbuemo and Semenyo are valued at £65m on Transfermarkt, although the price of a combined deal could be closer to £100m. However, it promises to be money well spent by Liverpool and it will be interesting to see what steps the Merseyside giants take in the near future to materialize their interest.
