Liverpool in talks for Mo Salah’s potential replacement as Fabrizio Romano drops major update

Diomande represents an explosive, high-ceiling option. The Ivorian excels on the right wing, the exact vacancy left by Salah and is a natural goalscorer who loves to cut inside.

Yan Diomande vs Bradley Barcola 25/26 stats

If Liverpool want a direct goal threat to mirror Salah’s output from the right, Diomande looks like the ideal puzzle piece.

However, if the club prefers flexibility across the entire front three, Barcola remains a world-class option.

Given Salah’s incredible goalscoring, Liverpool could perhaps need both of them if they want to replace him.
