Following the news of Mohamed Salah's departure, the club has begun to reshape its attacking line. And one of the names has already appeared in discussions.
According to Bild, Liverpool are considering Hoffenheim winger Bazoumana Toure as a potential replacement for the Egyptian. 24 matches in the Bundesliga season, 2 goals and 8 assists — not the most eye-catching statistics, but apparently, it’s not just about the numbers.
Bet on profile, not status
Toure is valued at around €40 million and is seen not as a ready-made star, but as a system player. Fast, flexible in attack, and capable of covering the flank — this is exactly the profile that could interest Liverpool in their new setup.
After Salah, this looks like a change in direction. Not a direct “successor,” but an attempt to reset the role.
Parallel interest from Turkey
Amid Salah’s upcoming departure, options for his next destination are also emerging. Galatasaray are interested in the Egyptian, and he could join them for free — as a free agent.
Moreover, the Turkish club is also monitoring Virgil van Dijk. In his case, the situation is more complicated — his contract runs until 2027, and any potential deal would require significant spending. One option could involve including Roland Sallai to balance the transfer.
The summer will be revealing
Liverpool are simultaneously solving two tasks — finding a replacement for their leader and monitoring where he will go. These processes will inevitably influence each other. The question is whether Toure will become part of the new attack — or if he is just the first of many candidates on the list.
