Liverpool renews interest in Lookman despite Salah two-year deal
Liverpool are interested in signing Super Eagles and Atalanta attacker, Ademola Olajade Lookman, despite Mo Salah’s new two-year deal, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 2024 CAF Player of the Year has scored 18 goals and provided six assists for La Dea across all competitions this season. However, the 27-year-old has a strained relationship with the club’s coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, fuelling exit talks ahead of the summer transfer window.
Lookman has been on Liverpool’s radar for a while, as many thought the Merseysiders were eyeing him as a potential replacement for Mo Salah due to the Egyptian’s complicated contract situation at Anfield. In the end, the former Roma winger penned a two-year extension with Arne Slot’s side.
