In the midst of Arsenal’s “war for La Liga ace,” Liverpool has made a $64 million defender a “priority.”

Liverpool transfer gossip suggests the Reds may look to Spain to address their struggles with goal scoring. A Bundesliga defender is also being considered, although his price is high.

Liverpool’s dreams of winning the title are in shambles following their stunning Merseyside derby defeat. Already, focus is turning to the summer and Anfield’s post-Jürgen Klopp era.

Arne Slot, the manager of Feyenoord, is now the front-runner for the position, and according to BBC Sport, negotiations between the two teams have already started. If Slot is hired, he will actively collaborate with Richard Hughes, the new sporting director, to identify potential transfers, with Michael Edwards closely monitoring the process.

As they approach the last year of their contracts, star players Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah’s futures are still up in the air. Salah in particular is still the subject of speculation, and Saudi Pro League teams are predicted to pique interest once more in the summer.

Regardless of whether Slot replaces Klopp, he or she will probably want money to bolster the Liverpool team. The past few weeks have demonstrated areas that still need work in an effort to improve for the upcoming season.

This is Liverpool.com’s assessment of the transfer rumours that have surfaced regarding the Reds today, including claims of interest in a La Liga striker and a Bundesliga star who has drawn attention this year.

Atletico Madrid’s [Samu Omorodion]

West Ham United, Arsenal, and Liverpool are ‘considering’ making a deal for Samu Omoridion, the striker for Atlético Madrid, according to CaughtOffiside. Currently on loan at Deportivo Alavés, the 19-year-old has made an impression. eight goals in the La Liga.

Omorodion did not play for the Spanish powerhouses yet, having only joined Atlético from Granada last summer. It is said that he might be sold this summer for about $64 million (€60 million/£51 million), provided a sizable transfer offer is made.

The adolescent has apparently been under observation by both Arsenal and Liverpool for some time, but the Hammers are the ones who first got in touch with his agency before the summer transfer window opened.

Omoridion may have aspirations of breaking into the first squad next season, but Atletico could look to cash in on the player if the Spanish giants receive a sizable bid, according to Liverpool.com. It’s unclear if he would be willing to walk away without having an influence. Liverpool may be considering signing a new striker as their goal-scoring problems have become more apparent in recent weeks.

Frankfurt’s Eintracht [Willian Pacho]

Gianluca Di Marzio, an Italian journalist, claims that Liverpool has made Willian Pacho, a defender for Eintracht Frankfurt, a “priority” for the summer transfer window. After an incredible season, the 22-year-old, who was signed by the Bundesliga club for $9.6 million (€9 million/£7.7 million) last summer from Royal Antwerp, has the potential to turn a big profit.

Pacho appears to be one of the possible transfers Michael Edwards is ‘already working’ on to bolster the team this summer. Liverpool is looking for a left-footed centre defender, and Pacho has supposedly been identified as the “right profile” to bolster the defence.

Sky Germany recently revealed that an offer as high as $64 million (€60 million/£51 million) will be required to sign him this summer. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool is willing to pay this amount.

According to Liverpool.com, Joël Matip is expected to leave on a free transfer, meaning Liverpool is in dire need of defensive reinforcements. The recent performances of Ibrahima Konaté have also raised questions. Pacho matches the age range and profile, but we’ll have to wait and see if Liverpool is prepared to pay the amount.
