After knocking Liverpool out of the Champions League, Ousmane Dembélé is now a top target to replace Mohamed Salah. A dramatic and strategic twist in the transfer market.
Just days after dismantling Liverpool FC in the UEFA Champions League, Ousmane Dembélé could be heading to Anfield in a stunning turnaround. The French international, who scored a decisive brace for Paris Saint-Germain on April 14, 2026, has been identified as Liverpool’s top attacking target. According to British reports, including Sky Sports, the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner is seen as the perfect replacement for Mohamed Salah, who has confirmed he will leave the club at the end of the season after nearly a decade of success.
From a sporting perspective, Liverpool’s management, led by Arne Slot, views Dembélé as an ideal long-term solution. With 32 goals in 43 appearances this season, he ranks among Europe’s most impactful forwards. However, the deal remains highly complex: under contract with PSG until 2028, Dembélé could extend his stay in Paris, while his reported €60 million annual salary and a potential €100 million transfer fee pose major obstacles. Also tracked by Arsenal FC, Chelsea FC, and Manchester United, the French star is at the center of a high-stakes transfer battle. In a twist worthy of a football drama, Liverpool may soon embrace the very player who recently crushed their European hopes.
