Roma Star Matias Soule Identified As Potential Mo Salah Replacement

Matias Soule has been shortlisted by Liverpool as the Reds consider a replacement for disgruntled winger Mo Salah. 

FootItalia’s sources confirmed the Roma starlet is being monitored by the English Premier League giants with Salah’s long-term future up in the air.

Interestingly, it was the Giallorossi who sold the Egyptian King to the Merseysiders back in 2017. Salah is widely considered as one of the greatest wingers of all-time but his bombshell interview could spell his Anfield exit.

Matias Soule Transfer News

Argentina’s Matias Soule has dazzled at the Stadio Olimpico this season and Europe’s elite continue to monitor his progress. Soule’s rapid rise has certainly not gone unnoticed and Liverpool are keeping a close eye on the right winger.

This term, Soule has featured in 20 games across all competitions and chipped in with five goals and three assists. The 22-year-old sparkled once again in the recent 3-0 Europa League victory over Celtic.

A potential move to Anfield will gather more traction if club legend Mo Salah quits Liverpool. Salah’s explosive interview has proven hugely problematic and chaotic.

Whilst that gets dealt with in-house via head coach Arne Slot, Roma supporters will fear history may repeat itself if Salah does move on.

However, the Giallorossi faithful know that Soule won’t come cheap and they could demand a record fee. That would allow wily old boss to Gian Piero Gasperini to increase his roster with a number of star signings all over the pitch.

Matias Soule Style Of Play

Even though Liverpool are considering a move for Antoine Semenyo in January, Matias Soule’s style of play and overall potential are deemed more enticing.

Soule’s creativity, close ball control and exceptional dribbling skills mirror that of a prime Mo Salah. Granted, the 22-year-old needs to add more goals to his game but they will likely come as he continues to develop.

Not only does Soule play with maturity beyond his years, he is in line to become a regular in Argentina’s squad. Potentially even making the roster for the upcoming World Cup.

If Soule stays on his current trajectory, he has the potential to go to the very top. There are not many players who can master the explosive, attacking-winger role as naturally as Soule does.

His vision, creativity, fearlessness displays are something supporters are marveling over. Soule continues to shine and Roma supporters have certainly got a gem on their hands.

How Much Would Soule Cost?

Matias Soule could easily command double the €35million figure that TransferMarkt currently has him valued at. In fact, a fee closer to €80m is not beyond the realm of possibilities.

Liverpool and the rest of Europe’s elite would hardly be put off by Soule’s potential price tag. Especially as the Argentine has all the credentials to develop into a global superstar.

For now, Soule needs to keep working on his game to reach the dizzy heights that have been predicted for him. Naturally, Roma won’t want to lose their star winger but the Giallorossi would certainly collect a handsome fee.
