Liverpool targets Iliman Ndiaye as potential Salah replacement

Summary

Liverpool's sporting director Richard Hughes is working to strengthen the squad ahead of the new season. With the goal of obtaining silverware, the club is exploring options to fill the right-wing position after Mohamed Salah's departure. Iliman Ndiaye has reportedly rejected an offer from Al-Hilal, expressing a desire to remain in the Premier League. This may open the door for Liverpool to pursue the 26-year-old winger, who has shown promise at Everton, contributing to nine goals in the last campaign. Further developments on transfer talks are anticipated as Liverpool finalizes its targets.
