Liverpool Preparing Blockbuster £130m Bid for Desire Doue to Replace Salah

Liverpool have already lined up a replacement for Mohamed Salah, according to reports in Spain.

The Reds are in a tricky position following the Egyptian star’s explosive interview on Sunday where he claimed to have been “thrown under the bus” at Anfield. He also claimed he has “no relationship” with head coach, Arne Slot.

Since then, Salah has returned to training with his teammates, but has been left out of the squad for Tuesday’s’ Champions League clash against Inter Milan at the San Siro.

With speculation rife over whether the 33-year-old has played his last game for the club, Liverpool are poised for what’s next.

Liverpool Eye Mohamed Salah Replacement

Liverpool are preparing for Salah’s exit with a move to sign Desire Doue from Paris Saint-Germain. According to Fichajes, the Reds are considering a £130.9million offer for the talented forward.

A winger who can play on both flanks, Doue – who has been described as ‘Neymar reincarnated’ – has scored 19 goals and provided 19 assists for the reigning Champions League winners, however a calf and hamstring injury has restricted the 20-year-old to just eight appearances this term. That said, he has managed three goals and three assists in those fixtures.

He also scored two goals and grabbed one assist in last season’s Champions League final win over Inter Milan – a match which they won 5-0.

Doue Would Be A Huge Statement Signing

A player who has already proven himself at the very highest level, Doue would be a hugely exciting signing for Liverpool. Losing Salah would be a bitter pill to swallow for supporters — after all, he’s a genuine club legend and the club’s third-highest goalscorer in history.

However, all good things come to an end and this might well be the moment for Salah and Liverpool to part company.

If that happens, Liverpool need to sign a top-tier star and Doue certainly fits the bill. At just 20 years of age, an admittedly expensive deal to sign the PSG forward could undoubtedly pay off with the forward having the potential to lead the line for many years to come.

Unlike Salah, there’s also a huge sell-on potential available which would make the deal a no-brainer all round.

Of course it remains to be seen if PSG would be willing to sell one of their star men. After all, they are European champions and so a move away from Paris could be seen as a downward step.
