Slot Says Liverpool Are Likely to Sign Winger as Salah Replacement Plan Begins
Arne Slot said Liverpool need at least one winger as Mohamed Salah leaves, with Yan Diomande and Bradley Barcola among the targets.
- Manager Arne Slot confirmed Liverpool are working on signing 'at least one' winger this summer after Mohamed Salah played his 442nd and final game on Sunday, providing an assist in a 1-1 draw with Brentford that secured Champions League qualification.
- Injuries and departures disrupted Liverpool's winger-fullback combinations that proved vital last season, with Conor Bradley sidelined, Jeremie Frimpong struggling, and the losses of Luis Diaz and Trent Alexander-Arnold weakening the flanks.
- RB Leipzig teenager Yan Diomande impressed with 13 goals in 36 appearances this season, topping Bundesliga charts for progressive carries of more than ten metres and chance creation after a ball carry .
- Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzlaff said recently 'If I were managing director of sport, I wouldn't sell this young player,' signaling Leipzig's resistance, while Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes may explore a swap deal involving Harvey Elliott.
- Champions League qualification provides Liverpool the revenue to continue a rebuild that saw around £440 million spent last summer, with Diomande's value soaring to around £100 million after joining Leipzig from Leganes 12 months ago.
