Liverpool, despite their bright start to the season, face uncertainty over the future of their talisman, Mo Salah, as he enters the final nine months of his contract. Fresh reports suggest that Liverpool may already be eyeing a current Premier League star as Salah’s long-term successor at Anfield.
Rumors of a potential move to ambitious new MLS club San Diego FC have also surfaced, with the club reportedly willing to make Salah their marquee signing. This leaves fans anxious about what the future holds for one of the Reds’ all-time greats.
If the 32-year-old is to depart Merseyside at the end of this season, LFC chiefs might seek to raid a top-flight rival for his replacement.
Is Kudus the perfect fit for Liverpool
According to Fichajes, Liverpool have identified West Ham forward Mohammed Kudus as a possible successor to Mo Salah. The 24-year-old is considered an ‘attractive target’ for the Reds, though West Ham are reportedly ‘unlikely to part with’ him.
However, the allure of a move to Anfield could potentially tempt Kudus to leave east London, especially if Salah’s departure becomes imminent. Kudus’ versatility and attacking flair make him an intriguing option for Liverpool as they plan for the future beyond their Egyptian superstar.
The Ghanaian international, Mohammed Kudus, joined West Ham from Ajax last year and has quickly established himself as a key player for the East London club. With 54 appearances and 22 goal contributions to his name, Kudus has proven his quality in the Premier League. Currently earning £90,000 per week.
Renowned for his dribbling ability, the 24-year-old has averaged 3.84 successful take-ons per match over the past 12 months, placing him in the top 2% of players in his position across Europe’s top five leagues (FBref).

Liverpool’s potential move for Mohammed Kudus may hinge on Mo Salah’s future at Anfield. Should Salah extend his contract, the Reds would have solid depth on the right flank with Federico Chiesa and the on-loan Ben Doak. However, if Salah departs, Liverpool could have strong motivation to pursue Kudus. The West Ham star has shown he’s capable of delivering standout performances, and his versatility would make him a valuable addition to fill the gap left by Salah.
