Liverpool’s transfer market priorities for 2026 could include a replacement for Mohamed Salah. The 33-year-old is under contract until 2027 but that hasn’t stopped transfer links to plenty of talented forwards.
Morgan Rogers, Rodrygo, Antoine Semenyo and Michael Olise are just a few of the star names who have been linked with a potential move to Anfield in the next 12 months.

With Salah winding down his career – and potentially finding one more lucrative contract in Saudi Arabia – a new dawn is approaching for the Reds’ attack.
The next big thing: Ian Subiabre
One player linked in recent days has been Ian Subiabre. The 18-year-old Argentinian right winger plays for River Plate – and was a star of the recent FIFA Under-20 World Cup for his national team.
Subiabre is seen as the coming force in South American football – following in the footsteps of former teammate Franco Mastantuono. The player has got plenty of interest from top European clubs already – and River are planning a new contract.
The Buenos Aires giants want to tie Subiabre down until 2028 – and insert a mammoth €100m release clause.
It’s unlikely they will achieve that full amount if Subiabre is sold – but shows they are serious about gaining the maximum value possible on him in the event that he’s sold.
Liverpool looking at Subiabre
Following on from British reports of Liverpool’s interest comes a line in the Spanish media which confirms that the Premier League champions have joined the chase.
“Liverpool have made their move and joined the race for young Argentine winger Ian Subiabre, from River Plate,” the report from Fichajes reads.
The left-footer is at home on the right – like Salah – but has also showcased his versatility by playing across the frontline for club and country.
And even if Subiabre signs a new deal, the Reds have got no intention of letting him remain in his home country until 2028.
“Liverpool believe the deal could be finalized in 2026, when Subiabre completes his development in Argentina,” the report reads.
