Liverpool's search for Salah's successor stalls on Barcola hurdle

Liverpool face a widening void on the right flank after Mohamed Salah, who still had a year left on his contract, signals his exit following repeated fallings‑out with manager Arne Slot, prompting the club to hunt for a marquee right‑winger to replace the Egyptian star. Salah's likely departure leaves Liverpool without their biggest‑name forward this summer. Offers from the Saudi Pro League and the Turkish Super Lig have made a return improbable. The Reds already have Jeremie Frimpong and Victor Munoz capable of covering the right wing, but the club insists a marquee signing is required to fill the void left by Salah. Yan Diomande, a 19‑year‑old Ivorian who can operate on either flank, was initially tipped as the replacement, yet he opted for Paris Saint‑Germain over Liverpool. Director of football Richard Hughes is therefore widening the search for alternatives.

Bradley Barcola has surfaced as Liverpool’s new target despite being a natural left‑winger. He has featured on the right side before, and manager Luis Enrique’s fluid attacking set‑ups suggest he could adapt to the role. "Liverpool are also known to admire France winger Bradley Barcola, although sources in Paris say PSG are keen to extend his contract," reported. The Reds completed the signing of Spain winger Victor Munoz for £34.5 million from Osasuna this month, marking the first arrival since Andoni Iraola replaced Arne Slot as head coach.

Barcola, 24, is reportedly dissatisfied with limited minutes, having missed the start against Arsenal in the Champions League final. PSG, having raised over £60 million from the sale of Goncalo Ramos, are under no pressure to sell and could demand a steep fee. Meanwhile, Diomande and potentially Maghnes Akliouche are about to join PSG, further complicating Liverpool’s pursuit. Liverpool must now decide whether to meet a potentially extortionate price or continue scouting, as the Barcola pursuit remains hampered by PSG’s contract ambitions.
