Impressive La Luga star wanted by Klopp at Liverpool amid £200M transfer talk

Liverpool are being linked with a move for Athletic Bilbao forward Nico Williams as they seek a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah.

Salah has been one of the best attacking midfielders in world football for LIVERPOOL over the past few seasons and a man they can really rely on when it comes to scoring goals.

Salah notched 30 goals and 16 assists in 51 appearances across all competitions last term for Liverpool – but became disappointed after the Reds missed out on Champions League football.

In total he has scored 188 goals through 309 appearances that have seen him break countless records. His efforts have helped the Reds to Premier League, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Community Shield honors.

Salah signed a new Liverpool contract just last summer (2022), keeping him at the club until June 2025 and netting him a reported wage of £350,000-a-week, but there has been some talk that he is ready to leave.

WHAT IS THE LATEST – 

According to Fichajes, Williams is an “attractive profile for Jurgen Klopp” who values the forward’s ability to “unbalance and contribute” to attack.

A report in the Spanish publication read: “Liverpool, led by Jürgen Klopp, is looking for a right winger who can take the place of Mohamed Salah, who is being tempted by Saudi Arabia.

“Nico Williams is presented as an attractive profile for Klopp, who values the young player’s ability to unbalance and contribute on the attack front. Salah’s possible departure would open an opportunity for Williams to shine at Anfield.”

Look, Salah is one of the best players in world football and a real source of goals for the Reds, but he really is at that age now that he will not be producing those magical numbers of 30-40 goals a season.

LIVERPOOL fans love the man and will not want him to leave, but if the Reds get £200 million in the coming windows, they need to take it.

We are not sure that Williams is ready to be an immediate replacement for Salah though.
