In Jurgen Klopp’s final season at Anfield, Liverpool is having a great season and is still on track to win several trophies this year.

The Reds are still in the running for the FA Cup, the Europa League, and the Premier League championship despite having already won the Carabao Cup.

Liverpool has also made preparations in the background. Richard Hughes will take over as the Reds’ new technical director for the upcoming campaign, while Michael Edwards has been appointed as FSG’s CEO of Football.

Despite the fact that Liverpool has done a good job of keeping their entire roster together, new players may be added during the summer transfer window.

Now, the Reds are reportedly interested in a promising 20-year-old who has been compared to Anfield cult star Sadio Mane, according to sports journalist Patrick Berger.

Johan Bakayoko of PSV Eindhoven, who has been dominating the Eredivisie recently, is the man in question.

According to Berger’s earlier this week post on X, “European top clubs are targeting Johan Bakayoko for the summer.”

“Liverpool, City, Chelsea, BVB, and Paris are keeping an eye on his circumstances.” Agreement expiring in 2027; no release clause.

Cost: €50–60 million (£43–51 million). PSV Eindhoven turned down Brentford’s wintertime €40 million offer.

Liverpool Still Keen On Attacker But Interest On Standby

Reasons Liverpool ought to think about signing Johan Bakayoko Bakayoko appears to be a smart choice for a Liverpool team ready to usher in a new era while maintaining their elite standards.

With eight goals and thirteen assists from 40 competitive club appearances this season, the 20-year-old is a mainstay for PSV. He has nine caps for Belgium as well.

“Bakayoko is a player with all the traits of a proper winger,” scouting outlet Foot The Ball stated last April regarding his style of play.

But the player has demonstrated amazing maturity in expanding his skill set and using the high press brilliantly, among other things.

“The attacker helps his team defensively by spending a lot of time behind the half-line. His abilities and diligent work ethic are actually rather similar to those of a certain Sadio Mane.

Bakayoko has received praise from Fabrizio Romano and Adrian Clarke for having a similar style to Arsenal’s Saka. Football Talent Scout’s Jacek Kulig has compared him to Chelsea’s Madueke.

All things considered, Bakayoko appears to be a star in the making, and Liverpool should definitely think about making a move for him this summer.
