Liverpool fans, brace yourselves, rumors are swirling that Christian Pulisic, the USMNT star currently shining at AC Milan, is on Liverpool’s radar as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah.
With Salah's future at Anfield uncertain, the Reds are reportedly considering Pulisic as a serious candidate to fill the void if their Egyptian King decides to move on.

Could Pulisic be the answer for Liverpool if Salah leaves?
Pulisic has made a blistering start to his Serie A campaign, bagging three goals and two assists in just five games for AC Milan.
His stellar form hasn’t gone unnoticed by Liverpool, with reports (via Calciomercato) suggesting that the Reds may have to double the €20 million ($22.3m) Milan paid for him just last summer.
While Liverpool fans would love to see Pulisic return to the Premier League, there’s a catch: the American forward still has three years left on his contract with Milan, and the Italian giants hold a one-year extension option.
Pulisic himself has shown no signs of wanting to leave Milan, where he's found some of his best form yet, much to the delight of Rossoneri fans.
As for Salah, his contract with Liverpool is set to expire next summer, and speculation is rife that this could be his final season at Anfield.
The Reds might be willing to do everything in their power to convince Salah to stay, but should he decide to move on, Pulisic could be their go-to man.
After all, the American forward is coming off his most productive season ever, tallying 12 goals and 8 assists last term in Serie A.
While Liverpool won’t make any moves until Salah’s future is clear, Pulisic remains a tempting option. As the American continues to impress in Milan, could he be the next big name to light up Anfield?
