Liverpool may soon get an ideal chance to evaluate a transfer target following ‘contact’ from FSG.

The father of Galatasaray winger Roland Sallai has revealed that Liverpool have already made ‘contact’ regarding a potential future transfer to Anfield.

The 28-year-old had been linked as a possible right-back option for the Reds during the January transfer window after Sunderland confirmed they would not sell Lutsharel Geertruida, but Sallai has stayed at the Istanbul club.

In an interview with Hungarian media, Tibor Sallai said his son is in no rush to leave Galatasaray but acknowledged that a move to a top club like Liverpool could be appealing if the opportunity arises.

“Roli feels comfortable here and loves the club, so he’s not looking to leave at any cost. But I think he still has one big step left in his career—to join a truly elite club. Liverpool could be such a destination, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this transfer happened in the winter. I know contact has already been made via a management office. In the summer, if an offer benefits both my son and Galatasaray, it could be the right time to move to another country and level,” he said.
Sallai has already faced Liverpool this season, playing in Galatasaray’s 1-0 win over the Reds five months ago. There’s a strong chance the teams could meet again in March if Galatasaray are paired with Liverpool in the Champions League round of 16, following their 5-2 first-leg win over Juventus.

If Liverpool’s owners, FSG, are serious about signing him, these upcoming fixtures would offer the perfect chance to evaluate the Hungary international, who has mostly been deployed at right-back this season despite being known as a wide attacker.

Sallai has contributed six assists in 33 appearances this campaign but has shown a tendency for disciplinary issues, receiving two costly red cards recently—one in Hungary’s 1-1 draw against Ireland and another against Genclerbirligi, which ruled him out of the Istanbul derby against Fenerbahce.

For now, any Liverpool interest appears preliminary, but his father’s comments hint at the possibility of a concrete approach later this year, especially if sporting director Hughes aims to expand the Hungarian presence at Anfield.
