Fowler Backs Pulisic for Anfield Switch
Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has publicly urged his former club to consider AC Milan winger Christian Pulisic as a replacement for Mohamed Salah. Writing on X, Fowler identified the United States captain as an overlooked candidate who possesses the attributes to thrive at Anfield.
Fowler posted: “Plenty of rumours about as to who’s going to @LFC, one name I’ve not seen mentioned is pulisic… good age, played in the prem, exciting player, I’d take him, potentially a Salah type of pathway, thoughts?”
The suggestion comes as Liverpool assess their attacking options ahead of the new season. Salah remains central to Arne Slot’s plans, but at 33, the Egyptian’s long-term succession requires careful planning. Fowler highlighted Pulisic’s Premier League experience and age—he is 27—as key advantages.
Serie A Resurgence
Pulisic has rebuilt his reputation since joining Milan, establishing himself among the club’s most consistent creative threats. His performances in Italy represent a marked improvement on his inconsistent final seasons at Chelsea, where injuries and managerial changes disrupted his progress.
The winger previously spent four years in west London, winning the Champions League in 2021 but struggling to secure a regular starting position under several different coaches. His move to San Siro has seen him regain confidence and form, contributing consistently in Serie A and European competition.
World Cup Focus
Any potential transfer speculation coincides with Pulisic’s current focus on international duty. The winger is captaining the United States at the World Cup, which is being staged on home soil, placing him firmly under the global spotlight.
It remains unclear whether Liverpool’s recruitment team share Fowler’s assessment or have initiated any contact with Milan. The Italian club reportedly value Pulisic as a key component of their squad, and no formal approach has been confirmed by either side.
For now, Fowler’s intervention represents informed opinion rather than concrete transfer intelligence, though his endorsement will likely fuel speculation among supporters eager to see how Liverpool plan for life after Salah.
