Liverpool want 23yo Portuguese star as Mohamed Salah replacement

Liverpool are keen on landing Juventus winger Francisco Conceicao as a replacement for Mohamed Salah at the end of the season, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Merseyside giants will part ways with Salah on a free transfer this summer. The Egyptian star made a personal announcement regarding the decision earlier this month.

The club have already started the hunt for a successor and reports claim that they are keen on landing Conceicao from the Bianconeri as a successor for Salah in the off-season.

Conceicao only signed for the Bianconeri from Porto last year but he has been tipped to head for the exit if the Serie A giants fail to qualify for the Champions League with a top-four league finish.

The Bianconeri will need to balance their books with a big-money buy in that case and Conceicao could be permitted to head for the exit door for a package of around €60 million in the summer.
