Mohamed Salah's AFCON Participation Forces Liverpool to Seek Replacement

Reports indicate that English club Liverpool is searching for a new winger to compensate for the absence of their Egyptian star Mohamed Salah during the upcoming winter transfer window.

According to several recent English newspaper reports, Liverpool's management is exploring multiple options for the winger position, given Salah's impending participation with the Egyptian national team in the Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled between December 21, 2025, and January 18, 2026. Among the potential targets highlighted is Antoine Semenyo, the Bournemouth winger.

The upcoming period is crucial for "the Reds'" management, which aims to finalize a replacement before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations to ensure the team is not adversely affected by the absence of their top scorer during an important phase of the season.

It is worth noting that Mohamed Salah's contract with Liverpool extends for two additional seasons, officially ending on June 30, 2027.
