DBasia.news – Liverpool are still trying to find temporary replacements for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. The Reds have now shown interest in Villarreal winger, Arnaut Danjuma.
Salah and Mane are confirmed to be out in the next few weeks. Both are currently serving their country at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
The absence of Salah and Mane is believed to reduce Liverpool’s breaking power. Both of them are very reliable in the attack scheme in Jurgen Klopp’s team.
Liverpool were initially linked with FC Porto winger, Luis Diaz. However, the value of the 24-year-old player is quite high, which makes the Red Merseyside think twice.
Salah and Mane are almost certain to return to being mainstays once they return to Liverpool. Of course it would be a waste to purchase a temporary replacement for both of them at a high price.
This is what makes Danjuma associated with Liverpool. The 24-year-old winger does have a more affordable value.
In addition, Danjuma also did not need much time to adapt at Liverpool. He already knows the character of English football as he strengthened Bournemouth last season.
According to reports from The Athletic, Liverpool are starting to move for Danjuma. Negotiations with Villarreal will be held in the near future.
Danjuma itself has a release clause of 75 million euros. But Liverpool believe they can obtain him at a lower price.
Danjuma could also be included in Liverpool’s long-term plans. The club based at Anfield is of course aware that they cannot keep Salah and Mane from being targeted by rich clubs such as Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain forever.
