After taking over as manager of Liverpool in place of Jurgen Klopp, Arne Slot is still awaiting the completion of his first transfer, and the Reds are eager to bolster their roster in three crucial areas.
Arne Slot has brought Liverpool into a new age, although they haven’t made any significant transfers yet.
Due to contract expiration, veteran players Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara left the team, and full-back Calvin Ramsay signed a loan to play for League One team Wigan Athletic. Under Jurgen Klopp’s leadership, the Reds won the Carabao Cup and finished third in the previous campaign.
Under new boss Slot, they will be looking for greater success, and in order to achieve that, they might need to bring in some fresh talent. In light of everything mentioned above, Mirror Football examines every rumour originating from Anfield.
Slot anticipates three new signings.
This summer, Liverpool is thinking about adding a new centre back, defensive midfielder, and forward to bolster three positions.
Liverpool’s defensive targets include 18-year-old Lille sensation Leny Yoro, although there’s a lot of talk that he’s going to Real Madrid instead. Although it’s known that Liverpool won’t act until the ideal player becomes available, their plans could be affected by player departures.
While custodian Caoimhin Kelleher is out for grabs for under £25 million, Liverpool will need to accept offers over £50 million in order to get Luis Diaz to go. Players like Bobby Clark, James McConnell, and Tyler Morton might also be sent out on loan.
Endo delivers transfer decisions
Even if it means playing less, Wataru Endo has stated that he wants Liverpool to recruit a new number six this summer.
He told ABEMA Sports Time, “I don’t care about those reports, but I also think it would be better to get the number six midfielder,” according to MSN. “I believe it’s possible that they see Alexis Mac Allister, a number 10 player, as a number six or anchor, but there aren’t many number six players available right now.
“Mac Allister and I both had the most opportunities to play. We also had Thiago Alcantara, but he is expected to leave the team at the end of this season due to numerous injuries. Additionally, we have [ Stefan Bajcetic], however it’s not yet obvious if he’ll be able to help right away.
“Given my advanced age, I believe I could get the number six. However, I’m all for it if it ultimately strengthens the squad since there will be competition and I simply need to reclaim my spot. Thus, I’m not too concerned about it; in fact, if I win, I think it might work out.”
Van den Berg desires to go.
Sepp van den Berg, a defender for Liverpool, “definitely” wants to return permanently after spending the previous season on loan at Mainz in the Bundesliga.
Mainz finished two points clear of the relegation zone with Van den Berg making 33 league games. The 22-year-old is eager to return to the team, according to sporting director Christian Heidel.
Heidel stated to the German sports publication Kicker, “Sepp is the only one who has made a decision.” “He’s determined to remain in Mainz. He has stated as much quite plainly in public.”
