Mohamed Salah's departure from Liverpool left a major gap in new coach Andoni Iraola's lineup ahead of the 2026-2027 season.
Mohamed Salah parted ways with Liverpool at the end of last season despite one year remaining on his contract, and his next destination remains unclear.
Mohamed Salah had a season far removed from his usual levels with Liverpool, scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists across all competitions.
According to British outlet "Football Insider," the right-wing position has become a focus for Liverpool this summer after signing Victor Munoz and showing interest in Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola.

Iraola gave young star Callum Scanlon the chance to play against Wrexham, while Federico Chiesa remains the Reds' only right winger.
Seventeen-year-old Rio Ngumoha scored Liverpool's only goal in the 75th minute of the second half after coming on as a substitute against Wrexham, cutting inside from the right.
Andoni Iraola has thus settled on Ngumoha as Mohamed Salah's replacement and has no need to enter the transfer market for a new right winger.
Ngumoha had struggled for minutes under former coach Arne Slot before returning to prove to Iraola that sidelining him was a serious mistake this season.
Ngumoha now faces a huge challenge to replicate Salah's first-season achievements at Liverpool, where he scored 44 goals and provided 14 assists.
