The Reds are on the hunt for a game-changer for the upcoming season, especially with the uncertainty surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future. Nico Williams stands out among a shortlist of four elite forwards being considered at Anfield.
As the weeks go by, Liverpool are beginning to see the real risk that Mohamed Salah will end up moving away at the end of the season. The Egyptian’s contract is coming to an end, but there are not many clues about the renewal of his contract, which is expected to take place at any moment.
Salah has been a crucial attacking force for the Reds in recent years, making the search for a successor quite challenging. Teamtalk reports that plans are already underway at Anfield, keeping 2025 in mind.
Nico Williams is at the forefront of the list
There are talks of several top-level attackers with similar qualities: speed, ability to unbalance and goalscoring. Nico Williams, star of Athletic Club and Spain, now leads the list of candidates clearly, after having been linked all last summer with FC Barcelona.
Liverpool also likes Takefusa Kubo, a 23-year-old Japanese player from Real Sociedad. Another is Karim Adeyemi, the speedy German from Borussia Dortmund who is of interest to several clubs in England. The most experienced option is Leroy Sané (28 years old), a winger from Bayern Munich.
