Bazoumana Touré, a winger for Hoffenheim, is an option for Liverpool, who are looking for a successor for Mohamed Salah. Scouts from Liverpool recently observed the 20-year-old left-footed player during an Ivory Coast international match against Scotland and were reportedly impressed by his assertiveness and resilience against the physically strong Scottish team. The scouts also regularly attend his league games, where he has recorded 11 assists and scored two goals in 24 Bundesliga appearances this season.
A transfer fee of approximately €40 million is being discussed for the player, who is under contract until 2029 after being signed from Hammarby IF for €10 million in February 2025. The Ivory Coast international, who has 5 caps and 2 goals for his country, has a current Transfermarkt market value of €35.00m. In addition to Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Bayern Munich are also said to be interested in Touré. A transfer to England is considered probable. Hoffenheim would be open to a sale, particularly if they do not qualify for European competition, but they plan to retain Touré if they qualify for the Champions League.
