Liverpool’s transfer market priorities for 2026 could include finding a replacement for Mohamed Salah. The 33-year-old winger is currently under contract until 2027, but that hasn’t stopped speculation linking Liverpool with several talented forwards. Names like Morgan Rogers, Rodrygo, Antoine Semenyo, and Michael Olise have all been mentioned as potential additions to the Anfield squad within the next 12 months.
With Salah gradually winding down his career and possibly seeking one final lucrative contract in Saudi Arabia, a new dawn is approaching for the Reds’ attack.
### The Next Big Thing: Ian Subiabre
One player who has recently been linked with a move to Liverpool is Ian Subiabre. The 18-year-old Argentinian right winger currently plays for River Plate and was a standout performer for Argentina at the recent FIFA Under-20 World Cup.
Subiabre is seen as a rising star in South American football, following in the footsteps of his former teammate Franco Mastantuono. Already attracting interest from top European clubs, River Plate is planning to offer the young talent a new contract.
The Buenos Aires giants aim to secure Subiabre until 2028 and propose a hefty €100 million release clause. While it’s unlikely that the full amount will be met if he is sold, the clause underlines how seriously the club values the player and their intention to maximize his transfer fee.
### Liverpool’s Interest in Subiabre
Following reports from British media, a Spanish outlet, Fichajes, has confirmed Liverpool’s involvement in the pursuit of Subiabre. According to their report:
“Liverpool have made their move and joined the race for young Argentine winger Ian Subiabre, from River Plate.”
Subiabre is a left-footer who primarily plays on the right wing, much like Mohamed Salah. He has also demonstrated versatility by featuring across the frontline for both club and country.
Despite the possibility that Subiabre may sign a new contract with River Plate, Liverpool reportedly have no plans to let him remain in Argentina until 2028. Instead, the Reds see 2026 as the optimal time to finalize a deal after Subiabre completes his development in South America.
