The Reds are said to have a £200million budget for the summer transfer window - and Arne Slot will be given the opportunity to help shape the squad in his vision.

Bryan Mbeumo has caught the eye of the Anfield hierarchy and remains a subject of attention despite Salah extending his stay.

The Premier League's leading goalscorer was set to be available for free with his deal due to run out in the summer.

Liverpool know that they will soon need a successor for Salah, 32, and Mbeumo's form has seen him put his case forward.

The Brentford ace has scored 18 goals in 33 Premier League appearances this term.

The Reds will need to part ways with around £50million to land the Cameroon international, according to The Sun, and will face competition from Arsenal and Newcastle.

Mbeumo has one year remaining on his current contract, plus an option of a further season with the Bees.

The Bees signed Mbeumo from Troyes for £5.8m in 2019 and could be seen as a smart replacement for Salah.

Should the veteran have departed, the Merseyside club may have found themselves held to ransom in the transfer market.

The Reds however will feel well-placed to complete summer business as they sit on the verge of winning the Premier League.

Slot is set to find success in his first season despite only adding bit-part player Federico Chiesa to his team.

The Dutchman will likely conduct more business this summer, but Salah is enthused by on-pitch prospects.
