Liverpool's Transfer Strategy: The Importance Of Mohamed Salah And Antoine Semenyo

Liverpool’s current transfer strategy is being shaped by two powerful forces at once: the looming question of Mohamed Salah’s future and the opportunity to move for Bournemouth’s breakout star Antoine Semenyo. Salah remains the system‑defining figure that every tactical decision still revolves around, while Semenyo has emerged as the most realistic Premier League‑proven profile to both support and, eventually, partially replace the Egyptian’s output in Arne Slot’s evolving frontline. Salah’s Power Over Liverpool’s Present Mohamed Salah is not just Liverpool’s star; he is the reference point that shapes how the entire club thinks about squad building, wage structure, and tactical identity. Everything from the type of forwards Liverpool recruit to how much risk they can take defensively flows from what Salah gives them in the final third. Salah’s goals and assists have carried Liverpool through multiple tactical eras, and even now, at 33, his expected departure – whether in 2026 or later...

Former Liverpool star stunned by Reds player: 'He made my head explode.

 Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has stated that watching Darwin Nunez miss a wonderful opportunity against Everton was disheartening, given his prior performances this season.

Nunez has only scored once in the Premier League in his last nine appearances and has struggled in front of goal.

The attacker was once again wasteful on Wednesday night, as Liverpool lost their first Merseyside derby at Goodison Park since 2010.

The Uruguayan smashed a sitter straight at Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford when through on goal, and Owen confessed he couldn't believe what he saw.

The former Liverpool striker recalled Nunez's spectacular finish a few weeks back, when he chipped the Brentford goalie.

Owen admitted that he couldn't believe the same striker shot straight at the goalkeeper despite having a gaping goal in front of him.

On Premier League Productions, the former Red stated, "The Nunez finish just made my brain explode tonight."

"I just can't believe someone was sprinting through against Brentford a few weeks ago and chipping the goalie.

"I couldn't believe my eyes how daring, classy, and good a finish it was, but I stated at the time that it was the wrong thing to do, and if he's thinking like that in front of the goal, God only knows what he's thinking in general.

"When you're in this circumstance and the goalkeeper is at the front post, you consider the size of the goal to the right.

"I cannot get my head around how you can finish like that and be so calm and calculated and confident in one of the most difficult finishes known to man and then you get a simple situation here, you just put your head down and you blast it down the middle."

Nunez has eleven Premier League goals in 32 appearances this season and has yet to entirely convince some supporters, despite Liverpool's large outlay to get him.
