Arne Slot wants to fix midfield problems, thus Liverpool is eager to take advantage of Man United’s move

This summer, Liverpool is actively searching the transfer market for fresh players.

In order to improve on their Premier League third-place result and make a stronger push in Europe the following season, the Reds are eager to bolster their roster.

Arne Slot has joined the team, and Liverpool is prepared to support the new manager in making roster adjustments and adding new players.

Teamtalk claims that Liverpool is prepared to sabotage Manchester United’s attempt to sign Manuel Ugarte, a midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain.

According to the article, Slot feels that the Merseyside club needs an addition in that part of the game in order to improve as they were unable to replace defensive midfielder Fabinho.

The defensive midfielder was courted by the Reds last season, but he ultimately decided to join Paris Saint-Germain rather than stay with Sporting CP.

Wataru Endo was signed by Jurgen Klopp, but the midfielder hasn’t had much of an impact at Anfield, and the Reds need to improve there.

Man United is considering a move for Ugarte because they need a midfield player who can thwart opponent assaults and protect the defence because defensive midfielder Casemiro is expected to leave the team this summer.

Liverpool have an edge on Man United

The Uruguayan midfielder’s decision may be greatly influenced by the chance to play in the Champions League next season, which only Liverpool can offer. It remains to be seen who will win the race to recruit him.

With four years remaining on his current contract, Ugarte’s French champions PSG are expected to demand a hefty transfer fee in order to let him go.

Although he only joined the Ligue 1 team in the summer, the manager of PSG has given the player permission to depart, meaning they are prepared to take a different course.

Liverpool star “ready to seal summer exit” as he “rejects contract offer.”

One of Arne Slot’s players received a fresh contract offer from Liverpool this summer. However, he had already expressed a wish to relocate to a place where he will play.

At the end of the season, Adrian, the 37-year-old Spaniard goalkeeper for Liverpool, was offered a fresh one-year contract extension; however, he turned it down in favour of going back home.

The local publication ABC Sevilla claims that Adrian is close to signing a contract to join La Liga team Real Betis, whom Liverpool will play in a preseason friendly in a few weeks. Adrian joined Liverpool on a free transfer from West Ham United in 2019 and has since made 26 appearances for the club.

Adrian had already stated in mid-May (via Muchodeporte) that he intended to go back to Spain. “I would like to return to La Liga after 11 seasons in the Premier League,” he stated. “A cycle would come to an end. I’m still prepared to compete, though. I may be 37, but I feel great.

“Goalkeepers, you understand that daily training provides you with the intensity necessary to compete, provided you take good care of yourself and haven’t had any severe injuries recently. It’s true that I would like to return to La Liga, and I believe I have a lot of time left. It must be a pleasant, fascinating project.

“Neither have I had a seat with Liverpool yet. Although it’s true that we will be keeping a close eye on La Liga, I don’t rule out the possibility of us having a chat.”

Following several changes in that area throughout the summer, Fabian Otte has been named as the new goalkeeping coach at Liverpool. Along with Jurgen Klopp, John Achterberg and Jack Robinson have gone on, and Caoimhin Kelleher, the backup choice, has acknowledged that he might have to go too in order to play regularly.

According to Liverpool.com, Adrian would need to leave Liverpool in order to play before he retires. For him and his family, it might make sense to move back to Spain. Arne Slot was never going to play Adrian for the Reds next season, but practically, the team needs enough bodies in the goalkeeping department to be trusted. He would just stay for the training exercises.
