Liverpool target 20-year-old dubbed one of Europe’s best dribblers as Mo Salah's replacement

Liverpool are reportedly eyeing a move for PSV Eindhoven's highly rated winger Johan Bakayoko as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, who could be on his way out of Anfield.

The 20-year-old Bakayoko has been one of the standout players in the Eredivisie this season, helping his side ease to the top of the Eredivisie this season.

The Reds face an uncertain future regarding Salah, whose contract expires in 2025. The Egyptian has been repeatedly linked with a lucrative move to Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal.

With Salah turning 32 next summer and Jurgen Klopp leaving the club, there is a possibility Liverpool could choose to cash in on their star man a year before his deal runs out.

As a result, the Merseyside club are thought to be lining up potential replacements - with 20-year-old Bakayoko emerging as one of the prime targets per TalkSport.

The Belgian winger has dazzled for PSV this season, contributing eight goals and 13 assists to help them top the Eredivisie.

Regarded as one of the best young dribblers in European football, Bakayoko could provide an exciting long-term solution for Liverpool out wide.

Dutch outlet Voetbalkrant via TalkSport reports Liverpool have "concrete interest" in securing the Belgian's services, though any deal could prove complicated.

PSV are likely to demand a premium fee for a player who is under contract until 2027 and has also attracted interest from elsewhere.

Ultimately, whether Liverpool firm up their interest in Bakayoko may depend on Salah's next move.

The Egyptian's potential exit could open up a void in Liverpool's attack that Jurgen Klopp may look to fill by investing in an exciting young prospect like Bakayoko.

A new era without the influential Salah appears closer than ever on the horizon at Anfield.
