Mohamed Salah remains the benchmark on Liverpool’s right wing after being named 2024\u201325 Premier League Player of the Season. The club’s recruitment network is already considering long-term replacements because maintaining continuity after the exit of a modern icon has been central to Liverpool’s success.<\/p>\n
Michael Olise: Now at Bayern Munich after leaving Crystal Palace, Olise produced 20 goals and 20 assists in his debut season for the Bundesliga champions and was named Rookie of the Season for 2024\u201325. The 23-year-old can play centrally or on the flank and is noted for his first touch and finishing. Recent reports have suggested that Olise is viewed by the Reds as Salah’s dream replacement.<\/p>\n
Rodrygo: Regularly linked with a Real Madrid exit with Arsenal and Manchester City mentioned as potential suitors, Rodrygo has struggled to impress new manager Xabi Alonso and appears intent on winning Alonso over in 2024\u201325. Comfortable on the right despite being right-footed, he has managed 34 goals and 31 assists in 146 appearances in that role. Liverpool have been touted as prospective buyers in previous windows.<\/p>\n
Antoine Semenyo: The Ghana international has directly troubled Liverpool, opening the scoring in Bournemouth’s 3\u20131 defeat to Liverpool in 2023\u201324 and scoring a brace in Bournemouth’s 4\u20132 defeat at Anfield after alleged racist abuse in the first half. He managed 13 goals and six assists last season, attracted interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, and signed a new contract over the summer.<\/p>\n
Anthony Gordon: A player Liverpool once released at the age of 11, Gordon is now at Newcastle United after leaving Everton. The Reds were interested last summer but did not match Newcastle’s demands. Gordon prefers the left but has been used on the right by Eddie Howe, where he recorded a goal and six assists in 11 appearances. Liverpool remain thought to monitor him.<\/p>\n
Bradley Barcola: Comfortable on either flank, Barcola has totalled five goals and 14 assists in 29 matches from the right wing across his career, with nine of those contributions coming across the last two seasons at Paris Saint-Germain. He produced 21 goals and 18 assists in 2024\u201325 under Luis Enrique, has 15 caps for France and scored twice since his senior debut in May 2024. Reports claim PSG rebuffed bids from Liverpool while L’\u00c9quipe outlined the Reds’ interest.<\/p>\n
Each option presents different strengths, and Liverpool’s next right-sided star will need to offer consistency, creativity and a high output in goals and assists to follow Salah’s example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
