But the Reds are already making preparations for it. This could see Liverpool looking for another sensational African in the next transfer window.

Antoine Semenyo is probably one of the best players on the continent right now. The Ghanaian international has recently captained his country and will play a key role for his nation in the upcoming World Cup.
Right now he is also standing out in the Premier League, where he is one of the best wingers in the competition.
Without a doubt, due to his performances he has attracted some of the most important clubs in Europe and England.
Liverpool is among them. Richard Hughes has always been a fan of his. He brought him from Bristol City to the Premier League while at Bournemouth.

Then there’s the fact that he has a £65m release clause in his contract, making him an absolute bargain.
Importantly, TEAMtalk reports that Liverpool are currently leading the race for the African player’s signature and that Semenyo’s favorite destination is Anfield at the moment, meaning he is ready to say yes to a move to the Reds.
It’s the kind of news we like to hear. Semenyo is an ideal player to bring in in the post-Salah era. He can play on the left wing but also on the right, which means he could replace the Egyptian.
At 25 years old, he is in the best moment of his career. Exactly the kind of age Liverpool like to buy players at. So this is just a no-brainer.
