Liverpool are reportedly keen on Bologna winger Dan Ndoye to potentially replace Mohamed Salah next summer.
According to Fichajes, Dan Ndoye is the latest name on Liverpool’s list of potential Mohamed Salah replacement. The Egyptian’s future situation is causing a stir at Anfield, as the Merseysiders could begin drawing up a realistic list of successors.
Dan Ndoye is a decent talent at Bologna and played a good enough role last season in their Champions League qualification. His numbers do not look great, especially given how much he impacts in the final third, but there are other aspects of his game that make him a good enough player for a top club.
Inter Milan are interested in the winger, while Manchester United were keen in the summer. Liverpool are now in the mix for the 23-year-old Serie A attacker ahead of next summer, as the report names the Swiss international as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah.
Ndoye hasn’t had a big start to the new season, and Bologna has essentially struggled to match their heights from last season. The departures of key stars in the summer have depleted their quality, and talents like the Swiss star have not come through shining.
Hence, it’s difficult to see Liverpool seriously considering Ndoye as a contender to replace Salah. The one important thing the club must look at while bringing in a successor for the Egyptian is whether they will replace his goals and overall influence, as the 23-year-old Serie A attacker does not even come close to that equation.
Liverpool will likely sign a high-profile Salah replacement
There are a few things happening in the background with the Salah situation that do not give a clear picture. For instance, there are suggestions that Liverpool are open to offering him a new deal, but the huge offers from elsewhere, like the Saudi clubs, will have a huge say in the Egyptian’s final decision. Should he decide to continue in Europe, PSG are also pushing so he could have numerous choices on his table.
Replacing Salah with a low-output player like Ndoye would not make sense, as Liverpool will likely look to bring a top star in his place. They are linked with Rodrygo Goes of Real Madrid or Leroy Sane of Bayern Munich, as many other such names will appear as the season progresses, and while Salah makes up his mind about his immediate future.
