Salah leaves the club third in their all-time goalscoring list and replacing such a seismic figure will be no mean feat, even if the attacker has endured a disappointing season on a personal level.As such, it has emerged that Liverpool are likely to seek two new attackers this summer: one high-profile name and a younger talent with potential.That's according to The i Paper, who claim that the £52million-rated Francisco Conceicao is one target who would fall into the latter category. The Juventus star, who is expected to feature prominently for Portugal at the World Cup, is seen as a player capable of replicating the direct style that made Salah such a thorn in the side of Premier League defenders.READ MORE: Liverpool legend John Toshack hits back at son after claiming he has dementiaREAD MORE: Jurgen Klopp names Liverpool star who could break Mo Salah record in 10 yearsMorgan Rogers is another player of interest after another stunning season for Aston Villa.
The 23-year-old would command an astronomical transfer fee, though, after signing a new contract earlier this season.Bayern Munich's Michael Olise falls into a similar category; the former Crystal Palace man is a player Liverpool have taken a keen interest in and the winger has taken his game to another level since swapping the Premier League for the Bundesliga.Like Rogers, he would also likely command a transfer fee in excess of £100m.
