Cho, at just 21 years old, has become one of Ligue 1's most promising players, contributing five goals and three assists in 25 appearances this season.
His versatility across the front three positions has caught the attention of many top clubs, including Liverpool where manager Arne Slot seeks players who can adapt and thrive in multiple roles.
The journey of Cho in football has been quite the adventure. Initially, he was part of Paris Saint-Germain's youth setup before moving to Everton in 2015, after impressing in a youth tournament in Marseille. However, contractual complexities meant Everton couldn't secure him right away.
After a brief stint back in France with Angers, where he signed his first professional contract at the remarkably young age of 16, Cho's career took him to Spain with Real Sociedad in 2022.
His time there was marred by injuries, but he still managed to showcase his skills, leading to a transfer to Nice for 12 million euros in 2024.
A source familiar with Everton's operations has described the club's failure to retain Cho as "one of the club's biggest mistakes in recent years." Now, Liverpool could add insult to injury by potentially bringing Cho back to Merseyside.
Liverpool have a history of investing in young talents with high ceilings, and Cho fits their recruitment profile perfectly.
With Mohamed Salah's future at the club uncertain as his contract ends in the summer, Liverpool are scouting for players who can not only fill immediate roles but also grow into future stars.
Nice, aware of Cho's rising stock, have him under contract until 2028, which puts them in a strong position to demand a significant transfer fee.
However, Cho's performances on the pitch, including his European experience in the Europa League, make him an attractive prospect for any club looking to bolster their attack.
Born in France but with a name echoing one of sports' greatest legends, Mohamed-Ali Cho is on the path to becoming a notable figure in football, blending speed, dribbling, and an improving goal-scoring instinct.
His development into a well-rounded attacker continues to be a storyline to watch in the football world.
