Egyptian forward Salah announced on Tuesday that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the current season. In addition to Francisco Conceição, Michael Olise and Yann Diomande are also on the Reds’ list.
The football world stopped late Tuesday afternoon when Egyptian Mohamed Salah announced he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season, after nine seasons with the Reds, bringing forward the end of his contract by one year.
This announcement prompted the Anfield Road-based club to immediately begin the search for reinforcements for their attack, with the Reds eyeing the signing of two players for the offensive side.
Although the summer transfer window is far away, Liverpool is already making efforts to sign two talented young players to strengthen manager Arne Slot’s attacking options.
One of the players on this list of potential reinforcements is Francisco Conceição. The information was reported by French journalist Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport and confirmed by Desporto ao Minuto. The Reds have been monitoring the Portuguese international, who is currently with the rest of the Portuguese team in Mexico to face the local national team in the early hours of next Sunday.
In his second season with the Turin-based club, his first outside of his contract with FC Porto, the number 7 has been one of the highlights of Juventus’ attacking play this season. So far, he has four goals and three assists in 34 games.
In addition to Francisco Conceição, Fabrice Hawkins revealed that Liverpool are also interested in Michael Olise and Yan Diomande. The former has a contract with Bayern Munich valid until June 2029, and the Bavarians are not interested in letting go of the French international who was signed from Crystal Palace two seasons ago.
Yan Diomande, 19 years old, has been excelling at RB Leipzig, where he arrived this season from Spanish side Leganés. The Ivorian has scored 11 goals and provided seven assists in his debut season for the German club and has already seen his name linked to other giants of European football.
