Liverpool competing with Manchester United for the “$53 million next Ronaldinho” as the first Arne Slot transfer is being considered

Liverpool may attempt to bolster its roster during the summer transfer window. It is anticipated that Arne Slot will take over and may pursue a young Brazilian actress.

Three games left before Jürgen Klopp leaves Anfield, meaning Liverpool is getting closer to living in a post-Klopp world. Though there has been much conjecture over his successor, it now seems that Arne Slot will take over as leader for the upcoming season.

It comes as no surprise that Liverpool is already being connected to additions during the transfer window as it aims to bolster its roster for the next campaign. However, if Slot’s nomination is confirmed, reports indicate he has already decided on his first project.

At the completion of the current campaign, Richard Hughes will assume the role of sporting director, working closely with Liverpool’s next manager to oversee transfers. With Slot anticipated to make a lasting impression on the Reds team, departures are just as possible as arrivals.

When their contracts expire, injured duo Thiago Alcântara and Joël Matip are anticipated to leave on free transfers. The futures of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who will be 32 and 33 years old, respectively, when their contracts expire in the summer of 2020, will also require decision-making.

Once Slot’s hiring is official, he will take over a young team, and Spanish newspaper Nacional reports he is considering adding another teenager. The Dutchman is allegedly a huge fan.

Once Slot’s hiring is official, he will take over a young team, and Spanish newspaper Nacional reports he is considering adding another teenager. The Dutchman allegedly has a strong affection for Palmeiras player Luis Guilherme.

The 18-year-old, who only made his senior debut a year ago, is quickly gaining recognition in Brazil and being compared to legendary former Barcelona and AC Milan player Ronaldinho. According to the source, Liverpool is prepared to spend about $21 million (£17 million/€20 million) on the teenager.

Palmeiras, however, will seek a significantly bigger fee—closer to $53 million (£42 million/€50 million)—because they do not want to lose Guilherme. Teammate Endrick will cost Real Madrid a total of $64 million (£51 million/€60 million), and the Brazilian squad values Guilherme similarly.

However, Manchester United is rumoured to be keeping an eye on the situation, so Liverpool is not likely to have a free run at the midfield star. According to journalist André Hernan, Borussia Dortmund, AS Monaco, and the Red Devils have all checked out Guilherme.

According to Liverpool.com, assuming Slot’s hiring is confirmed, the Reds would probably look to add more players this summer. This season, Klopp has given young players a lot of chances, and they will be hoping that his successor does the same. Guilherme seems like another extraordinary talent, but he might not be prepared for the Premier League at the age of 18. Liverpool will want someone who can start making an impression right away for that type of money.
