Liverpool monitoring Mohammed Kudus amid Mohamed Salah contract uncertainty
10th October 2024
Liverpool is reportedly keeping a close eye on Ghanaian star Mohammed Kudus as they explore options in the winger market, especially with ongoing uncertainty regarding Mohamed Salah's contract renewal.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Merseyside club is preparing for various scenarios, including the possibility of losing their Egyptian talisman if a new deal cannot be reached.
Kudus, currently playing for West Ham United, has emerged as a key target for Liverpool.
The versatile winger has been impressive in both the Premier League and European competitions, showcasing his goal-scoring abilities and technical skills, which have caught the attention of several top clubs.
As Salah's contract negotiations remain unresolved, Liverpool is keen to ensure they maintain attacking depth and quality.
Kudus, 24, is viewed as a potential long-term successor to Salah, given his capacity to play across the front line.
With the January transfer window approaching, Liverpool's interest in Kudus indicates their intent to reinforce their squad in light of the ongoing contract discussions with Salah.
The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Liverpool can secure an agreement with their top scorer or pivot to a promising talent like Kudus.
Meanwhile, Kudus is focused on leading the Black Stars in their upcoming match against Sudan in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, where he has been named captain for the crucial encounter scheduled for Thursday.
His performance on the international stage will further enhance his profile as a rising star in European football.
