"Liverpool are preparing contingency plans for life after Mohamed Salah, with recruitment conversations now focusing on two Premier League forwards. According to Football Insider, the Reds have turned their attention to Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United) and Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth) as primary targets should they decide to refresh the right-sided role Salah has made his own at Anfield. Liverpool are keeping tabs on Gordon and Semenyo as they plot another mega-money forward signing."
"Although Salah's future is not a part of the current speculation at the club but with the Egyptian attacker reaching the age of 33, the Reds are now planning for life without him. Gordon is a player who is known for his pace and his ability to bring others into play while Semenyo is the kind of player who has the ability to score goals, much like Salah."
"Salah signed an extension through 2027, cooling immediate exit talk but not eliminating longer-term succession planning. Liverpool's recruitment department typically works multiple windows ahead, and identifying PL-proven profiles who can shoulder creative and scoring load fits that model. Newcastle's valuation of Gordon will be steep given his age, contract situation and importance to Howe's structure. Bournemouth, for their part, have no incentive to sell Semenyo."

Nothing about Salah's new deal forces Liverpool's hand today, but the club's succession planning is unmistakably active. Whether a move materialises soon or in a future window will depend on valuations and squad needs."
Liverpool are preparing contingency plans for life after Mohamed Salah. Recruitment conversations focus on Anthony Gordon and Antoine Semenyo as right-sided options. Both players have impressed in the Premier League and fit profiles Liverpool seeks: Gordon offers pace and link-up play; Semenyo offers goal scoring. Salah signed an extension through 2027, delaying immediate exit concerns but prompting long-term succession planning. Liverpool's recruitment department targets Premier League-proven profiles across multiple transfer windows. Valuations and selling clubs' incentives will determine timing. Any move will depend on transfer fees, contracts and squad needs. Newcastle's valuation of Gordon is expected to be high while Bournemouth have little incentive to sell Semenyo.
