According to reports from French outlet Sports Zone, Liverpool has included Johan Bakayoko (21) on their shortlist as they seek to rejuvenate their team under new head coach Arne Slot. With Jürgen Klopp departing after an illustrious eight-and-a-half-year tenure, changes are anticipated at the club. Despite a strong season that saw Liverpool compete for the title until the latter stages, it’s evident that a rebuild may be on the horizon this summer.

Bakayoko emerges as a potential catalyst for this transition, especially as Liverpool reportedly seeks a replacement for the aging Mohamed Salah (31). The Merseyside club’s recruitment team, alongside their new manager, holds Bakayoko in high regard, particularly impressed by his performances as a right-winger for PSV.

However, amidst these speculations, Salah has affirmed his commitment to Liverpool on social media, expressing his desire to remain with the club for the upcoming season. In a statement, he emphasized the team’s determination to secure trophies, vowing to fight relentlessly for success, acknowledging the fans’ unwavering support.
