Liverpool will prioritise signing Mohammed Kudus as the long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, with West Ham United valuing him at around €100 million.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Mohammed Kudus is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds have identified the West Ham United attacker as their priority target to replace Mohamed Salah if he leaves as a free agent in the 2025 summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the Hammers want around €100 million to part ways with the Ghanaian international.
Mohammed Kudus and his impact at West Ham
Mohammed Kudus has established himself as one of the most promising attackers in the Premier League since joining West Ham United from Ajax in August 2023. The player enjoyed an impressive debut season with the East London club, making his mark in domestic and European football.
However, the 24-year-old has been slow off the blocks in the 2024/25 season, managing only two goals and one assist in ten appearances across all competitions. Kudus recently picked up a red card in West Ham United’s loss to Tottenham Hotspur that will force him to miss over a month of Premier League action.
Nevertheless, Kudus’s stock in the market is high, with several high-profile clubs across Europe setting their sights on him. Saudi Pro League clubs will also look to prise the Ghanaian attacker away from West Ham United next year. Meanwhile, Liverpool will be one of his prospective suitors in the 2025 summer transfer window.
Move across the Premier League on the cards?
Liverpool’s interest in Mohammed Kudus is understandable. The Reds are in a spot of bother over the long-term future of Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian international has entered the final 12 months of his contract with Merseyside club, and an agreement between the two parties has yet to see the light of day.
So, several candidates, including Geovany Quenda, have emerged on Liverpool’s radar. However, Kudus is also a viable target, although the Ghanaian international will not come cheap. West Ham United will demand around €100 million to part ways with the player, who has emerged as the priority target to replace Salah.
It is unclear if Liverpool will be ready to cough up €100 million to sign Kudus from West Ham United. Nevertheless, the 24-year-old has emerged as the priority target for Liverpool to replace Salah in the 2025 summer transfer window.
