Jurgen Klopp has set his sights on strengthening Liverpool's forward line and the one tipped to replace Mohamed Salah in the event of his departure could be Pedro Neto, Wolves' 23-year-old striker. Klopp, impressed by the Portugal international's abilities, wants to add Neto to the Reds' squad for next season as Arsenal have also expressed interest.
Pedro Neto has been considered one of the English club's mainstays since his arrival at Wolves from Lazio in 2019. His exceptional performance this season, where he contributed ten goals in twelve games, has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs. Arsenal have been closely monitoring the attacker and see him as an attractive signing in both the short and long term.
Pedro Neto, Klopp's wish
Liverpool are in the midst of rebuilding and want to fight for titles next season. It has started planning its squad and sees Pedro Neto as the ideal addition to strengthen its attack. Klopp believes Neto, who is versatile on both wings, could be the perfect successor to Mohamed Salah, who has been linked with a possible move to the Saudi Pro League.
The Portuguese is Klopp's plan B if Mbappé, who is an old target of the club and will become a free agent in the summer, doesn't come.
Although the Reds are currently leading the Premier League and are looking to strengthen in the current transfer window, Klopp is already thinking about the future. The potential integration of Neto complements Liverpool's strategy to maintain its competitiveness and face all eventualities, including the possible departure of Salah in the summer. The battle for Pedro Neto's services could heat up in the coming months with Klopp determined to lure the talented striker to Liverpool.
