Liverpool eyeing former Everton target Mohamed-Ali Cho

According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool are interested in Nice winger Mohamed-Ali Cho, and considering a summer move for the former Everton forward.

The 21-year-old French attacker is considered one of Ligue 1’s most exciting young talents, with five goals and three assists in 25 appearances this season.

Cho’s football journey includes a stint with Everton’s youth setup. He joined Everton from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2015 after impressing in a youth tournament.

While Everton eventually secured his signature, he later left for Angers in 2020. A source described Everton’s failure to retain Cho as “one of the club’s biggest mistakes in recent years.”

After spells with Angers and Real Sociedad, Cho joined Nice in 2024 for €12m. Now, Liverpool could further compound Everton’s disappointment by pursuing him this summer.

Liverpool’s recruitment strategy often focuses on young players with high potential, and Cho fits this profile. With uncertainty surrounding Mo Salah’s contract, Liverpool are seeking winger options for both the present and future.

Slot is interested in versatile players who can operate across the front line, and Cho has experience in all three attacking positions for Nice. His contributions this season, including Europa League experience, further enhance his appeal.

Sources confirm Liverpool’s interest, with Cho among several options being considered. However, given his recent transfer to Nice and contract until 2028, the French club is likely to demand a significant fee.
