Liverpool will swoop for Pedro Neto if Mohamed Salah decides to leave next year. The English are aware that the interest of the Saudi clubs in Salah is the same, and the club leaders want to be prepared for all situations. Despite the fact that the Egyptian still has 2 years of active contract with "The Reds", Liverpool is considering the possibility of financial benefit from the sale of his card. We remember that Al-Ittihad offered a full 150 million pounds for the Liverpool ace in the summer, but the English managed to resist the temptation, and Salah stayed at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp is looking for a striker, in the caliber of Salah, who can replace the Egyptian. Pedro Neto has been on the club's radar for some time now, due to his impressive performances with Wolves in the Premier League. Neto's fee is valued at 30 million euros by Transfermarket, but Wolves can ask for a higher figure for the player if he continues his good performances.
However, the leaders of Liverpool are being careful to target and other alternatives for the attack. Italian Chiesa was looking for a move to the Premier League last summer but nothing materialised. The striker's fee is valued at a modest €17.1 million, which makes him the perfect replacement for Salah, at least in the short term, should the Neto operation fail. Chiesa's contract with Juventus expires in 2025.
Despite the controversial loss against Tottenham, due to the decisions of the VAR system, Liverpool has started the new season in the Premier League quite well. However, considering the high output and the large number of games throughout the season in several competitions, manager Klopp needs solid options in the attacking department.
