Liverpool boasts a strong attacking lineup with players like Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa, Mohamed Salah, and Diogo Jota.
While Darwin Nunez, the club’s record signing from 2022, is also part of the squad, he has struggled to make an impact and has lost his starting position under Arne Slot this season. If his performance doesn’t improve in the coming months, the club may need to consider letting him go.
Reports suggest Liverpool is already looking for new attacking options for next year. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, they have identified Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi as a key target and are prepared to compete for his signature in 2025. Adeyemi, a German international, is keen on winning major trophies, making a move to the Premier League appealing.
In the recent transfer window, Juventus expressed interest in Adeyemi and even reached personal terms, but they couldn’t meet Dortmund’s £42.2 million valuation. Besides Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United are also in the running for the forward.
This season, the 22-year-old has contributed four goals in four matches, including two goals and an assist against Heidenheim. While he prefers playing on the flanks, he is also capable of operating as a central striker.
What are your thoughts—should Liverpool invest £42.2 million to sign Adeyemi?

‘Really worried’ – Arne Slot reacts to Liverpool player’s desire to leave following rejected bid
Nottingham Forest’s bid for Caoimhin Kelleher was rejected.
Arne Slot has expressed understanding regarding Caoimhin Kelleher’s desire to leave Liverpool. During the international break with the Republic of Ireland, Kelleher voiced his frustration over Liverpool’s signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia.
The 25-year-old is currently the backup goalkeeper to Alisson Becker at Anfield, but the acquisition of Mamardashvili—who will stay on loan at Valencia for the 2024-25 season—suggests he is being groomed as the future No. 1.
Liverpool declined a late offer from Nottingham Forest for Kelleher as it did not meet their £30 million valuation. Kelleher has repeatedly stated his wish to play regularly.
Despite this, Slot did not take offense at Kelleher’s comments. He noted that he would be “really worried” if players who aren’t regularly featured were content with that status.
At his pre-Forest press conference, Slot remarked: “I would be really worried if a player came out and said he doesn’t care about playing first-team football. That would be a bigger worry for me.
“It’s normal they want to play but it’s normal for a club like this that wants to compete for trophies to have more than 11 players who can play. As long as they can accept their situation—not in a way that I don’t care I’m not playing but by helping the team when they have to—is a good place to be.
“Caoimhin has shown many times in the past few years and in pre-season he’s ready when we need him. It’s a good thing and who knows, he’s going to play for us in the future but at the moment, it’s quite clear Alisson is No. 1. It’s a normal situation for a player to be in if you’re not playing but he handles the situation.”
