With uncertainty lingering over Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool FC, Talksport host Jason Cundy has proposed a potential replacement for the prolific winger.
Salah, who has yet to agree on a new contract with the club, may be on his way out, prompting Cundy to suggest that Bryan Mbeumo could be an ideal candidate to fill his shoes.
While reports indicate that Liverpool has made an initial offer to Salah, nothing has been confirmed, leaving the situation in limbo.
Should an agreement fail to materialize, Cundy believes Mbeumo, who currently plays for Brentford, could provide the attacking quality Liverpool would lose if Salah departs.
I think when you look at what could happen at Liverpool with Salah, I look at Mbeumo and what he’s capable of,” Cundy said.
He’s a little miniature Salah on the right side, cutting onto his left foot. He’s still got a lot of years ahead of him at the top level.
Mbeumo, known for his versatility and attacking prowess, has become an integral part of Brentford’s frontline.
His ability to cut inside and pose a threat with his left foot bears similarities to Salah’s playing style.
At 24 years old, Mbeumo has many years ahead of him, making him a potentially valuable addition to Liverpool’s squad.
Currently valued at €55 million, Mohamed Salah has been a key player for Liverpool since his arrival in 2017, contributing consistently with goals and assists.
This season, the Egyptian forward has already netted 15 goals and provided 12 assists across all competitions, maintaining his reputation as one of the Premier League’s top performers.
Salah earns an annual salary of €20.8 million.
As speculation continues about Salah’s next move, it is reported that his future may also be influenced by personal factors, including the aspirations of his wife.
This could complicate matters further, as potential suitors will need to take into account not just Salah’s footballing ability but also his personal circumstances.
Liverpool’s next fixture will be a crucial Champions League encounter against Girona FC, as they look to maintain their momentum.
While the debate around Salah’s future rages on, Cundy’s suggestion of Mbeumo highlights the ongoing search for potential reinforcements to strengthen the Reds’ attacking options.
