Liverpool are ready to try and pry Bryan Mbeumo away from Brentford this summer, despite star forward Mohamed Salah signing a new contract
**What Happened?**
Mohamed Salah recently signed a two-year contract extension at Anfield, putting an end to the ongoing rumors about his future. His new deal reportedly sees him earning around £400,000 per week, which is a £50,000 increase compared to his previous contract.
**The Bigger Picture**
Despite Salah’s new contract, it seems Liverpool are still planning to refresh their attacking options. According to The Sun, the club has been impressed with the performances of Bryan Mbeumo. Like Salah, Mbeumo is a left-footed forward who predominantly plays on the right wing. Liverpool’s manager, Arne Slot, is reportedly set to be granted £200 million to invest in the squad this summer, with Mbeumo potentially costing around £50 million.
**Did You Know?**
Mbeumo scored twice in Brentford’s 4-2 win over Brighton last Saturday, bringing his Premier League tally to 18 goals for the season. Only Salah, Erling Haaland, and Alexander Isak have scored more in the competition this term.
**What’s Next for Liverpool?**
Liverpool is closing in on securing the Premier League title and could be crowned champions as early as Sunday. For that to happen, they need to defeat Leicester at the King Power Stadium, and Arsenal must lose to Ipswich away.
