A big offer from the Saudi Pro League for Mohamed Salah might be on its way as his contract gets close to the expiration date, a situation which must be managed carefully in order to avoid getting into a spot which could be hard to get out of.
As a counter measure to the likely loss of Salah, Liverpool is currently persuing other potential replacements, and as per Team Talk, the talented West Ham United winger Jarrod Bowen tops their list. Bowen is 27 years old and he has an outstanding player at West Ham under David Moyes. He has scored 14 goals for his team in 28 appearances. He has also played as a centre-forward even though it is not his favourable position.
The former Hull City player is heading for England at Euro 2024 and Jurgen Klopp the manager of Liverpool, has written glowing reviews of him. Klopp in December before a Carabao Cup clash against West Ham expressed his feelings, claiming:
“He is probably my favourite player next to all my squad. It is very impressive that he has a very good development.”

What is likely to happen regarding the transfer of Bowen at Liverpool?
Michail Antonio, a West Ham player, reveals that he thinks Klopp’s statement was strategic and it implies that the Liverpool hierarchy is intending to play a long game for potential future transfers. Just prior to the game, Klopp stated that Jarrod Bowen has become his favourite player in the league apart from himself and his club players.
As Salah’s contract is due to expire in 2025 this summers’ transfer window is crucial, the whisper of Liverpool needing a player like Bowen to continue increasing their dominance only gets louder. With Salah’s future up in the air, the possibility that Liverpool are lining up a deal for Bowen is only increasing.
Simultaneously, the acquisition of Bowen would show that Liverpool takes action to neutralize the effect incase of Salah’s leaving the team. With the formidable task of dealing with any changes to their frontline, having a player like Bowen in their ranks could offer a steady support, primarily in terms of their attacking lineup.
