With Mohamed Salah’s departure all but confirmed, Liverpool FC is already working hard to find his replacement. And among the names being considered, an unexpected option has surfaced: Marcos Leonardo, currently playing for Al-Hilal.

The 22-year-old Brazilian striker has been turning heads since his arrival from SL Benfica. With over 40 goals scored in Saudi Arabia, he has established himself as a consistent and efficient forward. His impressive stats and potential have convinced Liverpool to add him to their shortlist for the upcoming transfer window.

Even though other options are on the table, such as those involving RB Leipzig or Bayern Munich, the English club is exploring several avenues to secure its future. Replacing a player of Mohamed Salah’s caliber is a major challenge, given the enormous impact he’s had with the Reds. The choice of his successor will therefore be crucial for Liverpool’s project going forward.
