Arne Slot “asks for $65 million signing” and work on the playmaker move is underway in the transfer news for Liverpool.

Liverpool has transfer news: Arne Slot has ‘asked’ for a defender worth $65 million. For “months,” the Reds are rumoured to have been considering a transfer for a Spanish playmaker.

Liverpool’s team is far stronger than what the previous few weeks have shown. There’s still room for improvement, and a deeper roster will probably be necessary to handle the pressure of returning to the Champions League, but this summer will be more about evolution than revolution.

Liverpool appears to have great goalkeeping. It boasts the world’s finest goalkeeper, and Caoimhín Kelleher will be welcomed there as long as he is content to stay.

Liverpool appears to have great goalkeeping. It boasts the world’s top goalkeeper, and Anfield will always welcome the Irishman Caoimhín Kelleher, if he is content to stay. A bit more depth at centre back would help the defence, but Jarell Quansah has performed admirably.

The main midfield changes were made in the summer of 2023, and the attack contains a number of young players who are eager to step up and five senior options. If certain important contract negotiations this summer proceed well, Liverpool would be as well-positioned as possible with one more in each of those areas.

This is Liverpool.com’s assessment of the transfer rumours that have surfaced regarding the Reds today, particularly those involving a Spanish playmaker. Arne Slot, the new head coach, is also said to have made a request.

Alberto Moleiro  (Las Palmas)

Alberto Moleiro, a 21-year-old playmaker for Las Palmas, is a target for both Liverpool and Inter Milan, according to yesterday’s print edition of AS (translated by Sport Witness). In fact, it’s said that the Reds have been working on a possible trade “for months,” and that it might pan out in the summer, when he could join Arne Slot.

The player’s contract includes a $64 million (£52 million/€60 million) release clause. But rumour has it that Las Palmas knows it may be time to let him go and is willing to sell for half that amount. Barcelona and a few other teams have already shown interest.

According to Liverpool.com, Moleiro is a very gifted player who, to those who haven’t seen him, has a striking resemblance to Philippe Coutinho when he glides across the ground. Whether he can play at Liverpool’s level or if he might need to make another transfer first is the question.

Goncalo Inácio (Sporting CP)

Gonçalo Inácio has been linked to a move to Liverpool for a long time, especially when Rúben Amorim was a candidate to succeed Klopp. Caught Offside says that the Reds are considering Inácio. Yes, Slot is said to have ‘asked’ for him.

After looking at the current Liverpool team, Slot is rumoured to have made acquiring a left-sided center-back a top priority. In addition to Inácio, Willian Pacho of Eintracht Frankfurt is reportedly another possibility. Pacho may cost around the same as Inácio, who has a $65 million (£52 million/€60 million) release clause, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

According to Liverpool.com, upgrading this summer would be wisely done with a left-sided defender. Adding a player who can play on the opposite side to Joël Matip’s departure would give the Liverpool team a better balance.
