Liverpool, currently leading the table after matchday 6, have been thriving under the new leadership of Arne Slot. While things look promising, fans are already concerned about a future without Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah.
Although the situations for van Dijk and TAA remain unclear, many fans and pundits believe Salah is likely to depart. Sources suggest that Liverpool has already identified Salah’s successor, who reportedly hails from one of their rivals.
Liverpool has devised a Plan B to not only cover Salah’s potential departure but also go for a fresh talent into their squad. The player chosen for this crucial role is Mykhailo Mudryk. Despite a promising start at Chelsea, Mudryk has yet to live up to expectations, making him a potential candidate for Liverpool’s future plans.
Mudryk – The chosen one
Mudryk joined Chelsea in 2023 after a fierce transfer battle with their London rivals Arsenal. The Blues secured his signature, with the 23-year-old earning £100,000 per week.
New Liverpool manager Arne Slot has expressed his desire to build a dynamic, competitive squad, and Mudryk could be the perfect candidate to revive his career at Anfield. Slot emphasizes creating an environment where players can fulfill their potential, a philosophy that has helped many players thrive after a fresh start.
The Ukrainian’s move to Liverpool would offer him a fresh opportunity to prove himself, after struggling to adapt to English football despite his hefty price tag. At Anfield, he could thrive in a system that takes advantage of his speed, dribbling, and natural ability to attack down the flanks. The added pressure of stepping into Salah’s shoes might also serve as the driving force that pushes him to unlock his full potential.

Whether this Plan B becomes a success or remains an unfulfilled promise will depend on Mudryk’s ability to revitalize his career at Anfield, where all eyes will be on his performance.
