Liverpool identify €45m-rated Real Madrid star as perfect candidate to replace Salah | OneFootball

Liverpool’s ongoing efforts to find a suitable replacement for Mohamed Salah have reportedly led them to Real Madrid, with Brahim Diaz emerging as a potential target.

According to a recent report from Fichajes, the English club is actively exploring options to reinforce their attack, and their search has brought them to two of Real Madrid’s promising talents—Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz.

The possible departure of Mohamed Salah has prompted Liverpool to plan ahead, and they appear particularly interested in Rodrygo.

The Brazilian forward has become a key figure in Carlo Ancelotti’s setup, known for his pace, creativity, and ability to operate effectively across various attacking roles.

His versatility and knack for delivering in crucial moments have made him an appealing prospect for Liverpool, who are keen to enhance their offensive depth.

Brahim Diaz on Liverpool’s radar too

However, Liverpool’s interest does not end with Rodrygo. The Merseyside club has also identified Brahim as a potential addition to their squad.

His ability to perform well in different positions across midfield and attack makes him a valuable asset, especially for a club like Liverpool that thrives on fluid, dynamic play.

Signing very difficult

However, despite Liverpool’s clear interest, signing either player is expected to be a challenging task. Rodrygo’s importance to Real Madrid cannot be overstated.

The Brazilian has delivered memorable performances on the biggest stages for Los Blancos, cementing his place as an integral part of Ancelotti’s plans.

The Spanish giants are unlikely to entertain offers for Rodrygo unless presented with a remarkably lucrative bid.

Brahim’s situation is not much different. His consistent growth within the Real Madrid squad has only strengthened the club’s belief in his potential.

As he continues to showcase his talent and versatility, Real Madrid would be hesitant to consider any offers for the midfielder without substantial financial motivation.
