Liverpool is ‘planning an onslaught’ for the summer transfer window as Arne Slot modifies his strategy.

Prior to his first transfer window as Liverpool manager, Arne Slot is organising his plans, but club scouts already seem to have changed the Reds’ summer acquisition.

After being impressed by another star they scouted, Ederson, a midfielder for Atalanta, is expected to be moved for by Liverpool.

The Reds, who are entering their first summer under Arne Slot’s direction, might use some midfield additions after Thiago Alcantara left. Teun Koopmeiners, a countryman of Slot, was formerly believed to be one of their goals for this summer, but after conducting a scouting trip in Italy, it seems that things have altered.

The Reds reportedly observed the Dutch midfielder playing for Atalanta, according Tuttosport. They saw Ederson, one of his teammates, while they were there. His performance reportedly thrilled them, and it is said that they are “now planning an attack” to get his signature.

Ederson is a 24-year-old international Brazilian. In July 2022, he moved from Salernitana to Atalanta. After then, the defensive midfielder has made 89 appearances across all competitions, and this season, he assisted the Italian team in winning the Europa League.

Ederson’s deal with Atlanta is set to expire in three years. In the event that Liverpool takes action, the Reds may give up on Koopmeiners.

The Dutchman has previously been connected to a move to Anfield. Juventus of Serie A is reportedly interested as well and may move quickly if they don’t have much opposition.

The representative for Koopmeiners has acknowledged that given his form, curiosity in his client is only natural. Bart Baving stated to CalcioMercato, “Let’s see.

“It would be odd if other clubs didn’t follow Teun because he is a football player with a consistent performance and is having a fantastic season. He has scored many beautiful and important goals.”

“We understand how football operates. He is currently thrilled that Atalanta won the Europa League, and he will concentrate on finishing strong in Serie A—since Atalanta may still finish in third place—before turning his attention to the European Championship. For now, that’s all I have to say.

Koopmeiners, meanwhile, did not completely rule out leaving Atalanta in the summer. “I’m focused on celebrating, but I’m happy to enjoy this title with the fans,” he said to Sky Italia following his Europa League victory. “Next season? I’m not sure. We’ll see.

The Reds may have to look for a new winger even though they are eager to bolster their midfield before the upcoming season begins. Spanish giants Barcelona has been linked to Colombian winger Luis Diaz.
