Both Liverpool and Newcastle United are reportedly pursuing Bryan Mbeumo, a star player for Brentford.
With Champions League football on offer, Liverpool sees the Cameroonian forward as a possible replacement for Salah if he leaves this summer.
The forward has stated his desire to compete in the biggest competitions. To expedite the transaction, Liverpool may opt to swap one or more players.
These four individuals are possible candidates who may join Brentford.

Fabio Carvalho
The young sensation from Liverpool, Fabio Carvalho, scored 9 goals in 20 Championship games during his amazing loan spell at Hull City last year.
The wealth of attacking options available to Liverpool may mean that the 21-year-old Portuguese talent is not in new manager Arne Slot’s immediate plans.
Carvalho could be a tempting offer for Brentford providing them with a talented forward to make up for Mbeumo’s departure.

Kostas Tsimikas
Especially since Joe Gomez emerged at Liverpool in a left-back role, the Greek defender Kostas Tsimikas has very little work left to do.
Tsimikas might be a useful addition as Brentford’s Rico Henry is recuperating from an injury and their standby player Sergio Reguilon is unlikely to return.
As Henry recovers to full fitness, he would ease the pressure on Henry by offering depth at left-back.

Sepp van den Berg
Sepp van den Berg, who plays as a centre-back, has stated that he wants to leave Liverpool to play more regularly.
Brentford could be interested in bringing in some youth to their backline given their aging defense which includes Zanka, Ethan, Pinnock and Ben Mee.
Van den Berg who is 22 years old is ready for a new challenge and Brentford might provide him with the opportunity to grow.

Stefan Bajcetic
Just three appearances were made by Stefan Bajcetic during a challenging and injury-plagued season at Liverpool.
Wataru Endo and Alexis Mac Allister’s arrivals have strengthened Red’s midfield so Bajcetic’s options might be restricted.
The 19-year-old Spanish player might be able to get the playing time he needs to regain his form and fitness by going on loan to Brentford.
Brentford’s midfield would become more dynamic and physically stronger with him in it.
These four players could provide Brentford with important reinforcements in different positions could be included in Liverpool’s possible trade for Bryan Mbeumo.
In exchange to giving Reds a Premier League-tested forward,
Fabio Carvalho, Kostas Tsimikas, Sepp van den Berg or Stefan Bajcetic could be traded to offer a combination of youth and experience that may help Brentford deal with Mbeumo’s departure.
This calculated action demonstrates Liverpool’s desire to stay flexible and competitive in the transfer market ensuring that their squad is balanced for the upcoming campaign.
