As Mohamed Salah nears 34 and faces a demanding 2025 season, Liverpool are reportedly considering West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen as a replacement. The 28-year-old, who has scored 77 goals in 249 games, is under contract until 2030. Tottenham, Manchester United, Newcastle, and Atletico Madrid also show strong interest.
For the upcoming summer transfer window, Liverpool are reportedly preparing to find a long-term successor to Mohamed Salah, who turns 33 and faces a demanding season featuring two international tournaments with Egypt. Although still under contract until 2027, Salah’s gradual decline and heavy schedule could prompt sporting director Richard Hughes to consider offers, with Saudi clubs reportedly ready to present a staggering £150 million-per-year deal.
Among potential replacements, West Ham United captain Jarrod Bowen has re-emerged as a strong contender. The 28-year-old England forward has scored 77 goals in 249 appearances for the Hammers and has been in fine form this season, netting three times in 10 Premier League matches. Despite being contracted until 2030, reports suggest West Ham may struggle to retain him beyond the 2026 summer window due to growing interest from top clubs.
Tottenham Hotspur are currently leading the chase, but Liverpool, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are also monitoring the situation closely, alongside Spanish side Atletico Madrid. Bowen’s consistent output, leadership, and experience make him an attractive option for Liverpool as they plan for life after Salah, even though his signing would demand a substantial transfer fee and wage package.
