Liverpool eye Conceicao to replace Salah Liverpool are interested in a move for Francisco Conceicao this summer, according to the Daily Mail . The Reds are preparing for the departure of Mohamed Salah and are scouring the market for replacements. One of the names on the Liverpool shortlist is Conceicao.

The Juventus winger has admirers in the sporting leadership, and they might consider a swoop for his signature. Conceicao has bagged four goals and three assists in 34 appearances this season. He is on course to match his tally of 13 goal contributions last term.

The ‘incredibly talented’ 23-year-old will likely jump at the chance to take the reins from Salah at Anfield. He is currently competing for game time, but at Liverpool, he will be the undisputed starter if the Reds see him as the heir to their Egyptian king. But he is not Liverpool’s only target.

The Merseyside outfit is also looking at Michael Olise and Yan Diomande to plug the hole Salah will leave behind. It is a surprise to see Conceicao’s name on the Liverpool shortlist. For a club bracing itself for life after Salah, the expectation is a signing who can elevate the attack.
