Euro Paper Talk: Liverpool register interest in two big-name attackers as Salah fears grow; Arsenal eye Osasuna midfielder
Liverpool have registered their interest in two attackers to replace Mohamed Salah, with Paulo Dybala top of their list, Arsenal are chasing a £20m Osasuna midfielder, while Tuesday’s Euro Paper Talk has huge claims about Gareth Bale and Tottenham.
PAULO DYBALA LEADING CANDIDATE TO REPLACE SALAH AT LIVERPOOL
Liverpool have reportedly registered their interest in signing two players this summer as a contingency plan for Mohamed Salah.
The Egyptian forward remains locked in talks with Liverpool over a new deal. His current arrangement expires in summer 2023 and the two parties remain some distance apart.
Indeed, Salah is reportedly seeking a deal worth around £400,000 a week – money that Liverpool are not prepared to meet.
And with the player turning 30 in June, there remains some fears from a Liverpool perspective over how long he will remain at the absolute top.
The Reds already illustrated their planning for the future with the January capture of Luis Diaz.
And it seems the Colombian won’t be the last of their attacking signings this year either.
Indeed, as per the Daily Mirror, Liverpool are exploring the possibility of recruiting Paulo Dybala.
The Juventus star is a free agent himself this summer and looks a ready-made replacement for Salah.
Dybala and Raphinha on Reds shopping list
Talks over an extension are yet to see an agreement reached. That said, Calciomercato claims Juventus are planning a fresh meeting with his Paulo Dybala and his agent this month to increase their offer to him.
However, he could find a new home at Anfield with reports claiming the Reds have registered their interest in his signing.
He is not the only South American they are monitoring either.
As per The Athletic, Liverpool are also considering a summer move for Raphinha.
The Brazilian has lit up the Premier League with Leeds, who are expecting big summer offers to come their way.
