Liverpool is ‘working’ on three acquisitions to bolster Arne Slot’s starting lineup.

Since the arrival of new head coach Arne Slot, Liverpool has been silent in the transfer market. It seems, however, that Anfield’s recruitment chiefs are ratcheting up their efforts.

As Arne Slot tries to lead Anfield into a new era, Liverpool’s transfer chiefs are apparently working on three new players to strengthen his starting XI.

After nine incredible years as the Reds’ manager, Jurgen Klopp left, leaving the Dutchman in charge on Merseyside. It’s also likely that the former head coach of Feyenoord won’t be the only new hire this summer, as Football Insider reports that the hiring team is already pursuing a number of possible candidates.

According to their report, the Reds have had a quieter start to the transfer market and could add three players to their roster for the upcoming season. Liverpool has not been under any noticeable pressure to make any notable moves in the market as a result of the Premier League’s June 30 Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) deadline.

That does not imply, however, that the rumours that connected the Merseysiders to a slew of elite players have slowed down recently. Even though many of the best players in the world are presently competing for their countries in the Copa America and Euro 2024 competitions, it seems that some progress has been made in terms of identifying possible targets.

Bologna center-back Riccardo Calafiori, 22, is one of the players rumoured to have attracted the attention of Anfield dealmakers. The Athletic reports that Calafiori caught their attention while playing for his country in Germany this summer. Liverpool’s interest in Lille defender Leny Yoro is another connection that has seen strength in the last month, according to the Liverpool ECHO.

Mundo Deportivo has previously hinted that the Reds are among the teams interested in acquiring Joshua Kimmich, the star midfielder for Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Liverpool is just one of several possible destinations for Manuel Ugarte, the agent of Paris Saint-Germain defensive midfielder, this summer, according to Portuguese publication O Jogo.

But the Reds’ opportunity to recruit Anthony Gordon of Newcastle United was arguably the most concrete connection of the summer thus far. The rumours of an impending move to Anfield reportedly turned the England winger’s head, and the negotiations failed because the Magpies wanted Jarrell Quansah to leave in any such deal, according to Mirror Football and The Telegraph.

Although it’s yet unclear who players will sign a contract to join Liverpool this summer, it appears that incoming head coach Slot is eager to collaborate with sporting director Richard Hughes on transfer issues going forward. He declared: “When it comes to transfers, Richard and I will collaborate, but there will be a large backstage team involved as well.

“I believe that this is how I have always worked, and it is the best method for me to work because I can make the most of my time working with the team, with the remaining time likely going towards family time and a discussion with Richard on how we can improve the team. However, we already have a very capable group.”
