Liverpool in five-club ‘race’ to sign €100m winger after ‘club-record’ transfer to PL rivals was rejected
According to reports, Liverpool are still in the ‘race’ to sign PSV Eindhoven winger Johan Bakayoko, who was pursued by Brentford during the summer window.
Liverpool were focused on rebuilding their midfield during the summer transfer window but they were also being linked with wingers amid reported interest from the Saudi Pro League in star forward Mo Salah.
The Reds ended up retaining Salah but it is anticipated that Saudi outfit Al-Ittihad will go back in for the Egypt international at some point over the next year.

It will be hard for Liverpool to replace Salah as he is still one of the best wingers in the world, but they will have to invest heavily to recruit an appropriate successor.
Liverpool were being heavily linked with Bakayoko during the final weeks of the summer transfer window. The 20-year-old shone for PSV last season as he grabbed nine goals and six assists in 39 outings across all competitions.
Bakayoko has started this season strongly with five assists in eight games and it’s been claimed that he turned down a move to Brentford before the summer window closed.
