The 19-year-old forward has impressed with 11 goals and 8 assists in 29 appearances for Leipzig this season. His versatility across both wings and explosive pace aligns with Liverpool's attacking identity as they plan for Salah's departure at the end of the 2025-26 season.
Leipzig is working on a contract adjustment with performance-based salary increases but no release clause, strengthening their negotiating position. The established transfer relationship between Liverpool and Leipzig, which has seen deals involving Szoboszlai, Konaté, and Keïta, could prove crucial in negotiations.
