Liverpool are believed to be stepping up their pursuit to sign a replacement for Mohamed Salah in the summer transfer window, according to a report from TEAMtalk.
The Reds face a crucial decision during the summer after it was confirmed that Salah would be leaving Anfield. The Egyptian international has been a phenomenal servant to the Merseyside club, and replacing his output certainly won't be easy.
Liverpool have endured a difficult season in the Premier League, so losing such a key asset isn't ideal.
Salah hasn't hit the heights expected of him this campaign, but he's shown to turn up in big moments at times.
Liverpool Stepping Up Salah Replacement Pursuit

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Liverpool are now stepping up their pursuit to sign RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande as a replacement for Salah in the summer transfer window.
The Bundesliga club are looking to receive a fee in the region of £87m to allow Diomande to depart, while they are hoping to tie him down to a new contract.
Diomande would welcome a move to Anfield, meaning personal terms are not expected to be an issue.
Liverpool could move quickly to secure his signature due to his interest in joining, but they'll still have to agree a fee with Leipzig, which won't be easy due to their hefty asking price.
Diomande a Risky Move for Liverpool

Although Diomande, who has been described as 'outrageous', is a highly rated young talent with plenty of potential, he's going to struggle to replicate what Salah has produced over the years.
The RB Leipzig man is producing impressive performances at a high level, but stepping up to the Premier League won't be easy for him, and it might take him time to settle in.
Liverpool fans might be hoping for someone a little more ready-made to replace Salah, especially after they struggled to replicate their phenomenal 2024/2025 season.
In the long-term, it might prove to be a smart move from the Reds, but it's certainly a risky one as they look to move forward after Salah.
