Liverpool Targets New Striker This Summer
Transfer Outlook
Liverpool is weighing their options for a new striker, with Paris Saint-Germain's Goncalo Ramos now on their radar. The club aims to enhance their scoring capabilities to relieve some of the goal-scoring pressure from key player Mohamed Salah, who excelled with 29 goals and 18 assists in the last Premier League season.
Current Striker Performance
Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez's contributions were less prolific last season, with Jota netting six goals in 28 appearances and Nunez just five in 30 matches. As Liverpool seeks a reliable frontman for the coming campaign, the addition of a new attacker has become a priority.
Potential Target: Goncalo Ramos
Ramos, a 23-year-old striker who transferred to PSG from Benfica for approximately $68 million, is considered by Liverpool management as a potential option due to his underutilization at the French club. His desire for more first-team football aligns with Liverpool's current needs, making him an intriguing prospect for their summer recruitment.
Alternative Candidates
In addition to Ramos, Liverpool has also been linked to players such as Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, and Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid as part of their striker search. However, Ramos has caught the attention of Liverpool's management as they develop their strategy for the transfer window.
Signings on the Horizon
Ramos may not be the only summer signing for Liverpool, as they are reportedly close to securing deals for Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, as well as Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez, who has already agreed on personal terms.
Future Considerations
Recent commentary suggests Liverpool should carefully consider their current squad, particularly regarding Darwin Nunez, whom some believe could provide essential contributions moving forward. Maintaining balance within the team is crucial as they strategize for an improved performance next season.
