Liverpool are reportedly looking forward to signing West Ham United's Mohammed Kudus as a long-term replacement for Egyptian attacker Mohamed Salah, as per Football 365.

Salah's contract at Liverpool will expire next summer. He last signed a three-year deal with the Merseyside club in 2022. He joined the Anfield outfit under Jurgen Klopp from Seria A side Roma in July 2017.

Since joining the Reds, the 32-year-old has made 359 appearances for the side across all competitions, bagging 217 goals and 94 assists.

The Saudi Pro League clubs have approached the Egyptian forward in the last couple of years, and they are expected to do the same again.

As a result, the Reds have started shortlisting candidates for Salah's replacement, and they have West Ham United's Mohammed Kudus on their radar. The Ghanaian attacker joined the Hammers from Eredivisie giants Ajax in August 2023 for a reported transfer fee of £38 million.

Since joining West Ham, the 24-year-old has made 54 appearances, bagging 15 goals and seven assists. Additionally, Mohammed Kudus has played as a midfielder and a left winger in his career.

Apart from Mohamed Salah, the contracts of Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander Arnold will also end in the summer of 2025.


Liverpool to sign 28-year-old Seria A defender in next summer transfer window: Reports

Arne Slot's Liverpool reportedly have Inter Milan's Denzel Dumfries on their transfer radar for next year's summer transfer window, as per Todo Fichajes.

English defender Trent Alexander Arnold's contract with the Reds will expire next summer, and Real Madrid are keen to sign him, as per multiple reports. Madrid's Dani Carvajal suffered an ACL injury, which ruled him out for the entire season.

After the Reds resounding 3-0 victory over Manchester United, Alexander Arnold was asked about his contract extension with Liverpool. He replied by stating that he's only focusing on the ongoing season as he would prefer keeping things private.

Meanwhile, Denzel Dumfries's contract with Inter Milan will also expire at the end of the season and he's yet to sign a deal with the Seria A giants. As per the aforementioned report, the Dutch defender is also not interested in penning a new deal in Milan.

He joined the Seria A giants from PSV Eindhoven in August 2021. The Dutchman has made 139 appearances for Inter Milan, bagging 12 goals and 20 assists across all competitions.
