Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool's plan for Mo Salah

Liverpool are heading toward a pivotal summer on the wings, with Mohamed Salah’s future at the forefront of the club’s planning. According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, the Reds are preparing for a major overhaul of their wide options as the Egyptian enters the final 12 months of his contract.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano outlined the club’s thinking: “For Liverpool, it’s going to be a busy summer for wingers. It’s very clear that Liverpool need to reinforce their wingers – the situation with Mo Salah, Cody Gakpo. I think in general, Liverpool need to add something fresh in that position.”

Salah, who earns a reported £400,000 per week, has seen a dip in form this season as Arne Slot’s side have underperformed across the Premier League, Champions League and Carabao Cup. With no extension agreed and the clock ticking, the club must decide whether to cash in now or risk losing the 31-year-old for nothing in 2025.

Romano dampened speculation linking Liverpool with Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise, comparing the scenario to previous pursuits of players tied to European giants. “Bayern have no intention at all to let him go,” Romano stressed. “Bayern are very happy with Olise and Bayern don’t even want to negotiate. Liverpool appreciate Olise, yes for sure, but who doesn’t appreciate Olise? At the moment, that’s the story.”

Instead, Romano suggests Liverpool will turn to alternative targets as they look to inject pace and creativity into a floundering attack. With Salah’s situation unresolved and Gakpo’s role still evolving, the Anfield hierarchy are expected to prioritise fresh faces on the flanks ahead of the new campaign.

Liverpool fans can anticipate movement once the window opens, but the identity of the incoming talent remains a work in progress.
