Liverpool have reportedly done ‘due diligence’ on three Premier League attackers ahead of the summer transfer window.
Liverpool Facing Summer Attack Overhaul as Multiple Forwards Could Be Sold
Liverpool endured a disastrous week, crashing out of the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain before suffering a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final. Now, with just nine Premier League matches remaining and a 12-point lead at the top, the Reds must ensure they don’t let their title hopes slip.
Major Attacking Shake-up on the Horizon?
Looking ahead to the summer, Sky Sports reports that Liverpool could undergo a massive attacking revamp, with several key forwards potentially leaving. Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa, Luis Díaz, and Darwin Núñez have all been mentioned as potential departures.
Additionally, Mohamed Salah’s future remains uncertain. The Egyptian star, whose contract expires in 2025, could leave for free if an extension isn’t agreed upon, putting Liverpool in a tough position.
Possible Replacements Identified
With so many potential exits, Liverpool are reportedly exploring new attacking options. According to reports, Alexander Isak (Newcastle), Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford), and Joao Pedro (Brighton) are all under consideration as possible signings.
Sky Sports stated:
“Were the Premier League’s top scorer (Salah) to also leave, then that would leave a sizeable rebuilding job in attack for (Richard) Hughes (LFC Sporting Director) to undertake, with the Reds reportedly doing due diligence on Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and Brighton’s Joao Pedro.”
What’s Next for Liverpool?
With Arne Slot set to take over from Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool’s squad could look very different next season. If multiple high-profile forwards leave, a significant rebuild in attack will be necessary to keep the team competitive at the top.

Arne Slot Reflects on Liverpool’s Recent Setbacks
Following Liverpool’s Champions League exit to PSG and Carabao Cup final defeat to Newcastle, manager Arne Slot addressed the team’s recent struggles while maintaining a positive outlook.
Slot acknowledged the strength of their opponents, stating:
“Probably if you can beat us in that style of play, you are probably the best in Europe at the moment. They still have to show if they can keep doing this over the next two or three months.”
However, the Liverpool boss was quick to remind fans that the week wasn’t entirely negative, pointing out the club’s Premier League title advantage:
“I want to make clear one more time that the week started off really well by us beating Southampton. That’s why we extended our lead to 12 points with nine games to go.”
Slot emphasized that setbacks are natural in football, particularly at the highest level:
“You know if you go far in tournaments, the opposition you face gets stronger and stronger. Even Liverpool can lose football games, that’s what can happen.”
With the Premier League title still within reach, Slot’s focus now shifts to ensuring Liverpool bounce back strongly in the final stretch of the season.
