Liverpool’s transfer drive shows no let‑up. With Dutch right‑back Jeremie Frimpong set to arrive from Bayer Leverkusen for about €35 million, new head coach Arne Slot is lining up a further £170 million splash on three priority recruits for the 2025/26 campaign.
Frimpong will be Slot’s first summer signing, but plans are already in motion for the next wave. Club insiders say Liverpool want a centre‑midfielder, a versatile forward and a left‑footed centre‑back to fit Slot’s tactical blueprint.
High on the list is Atalanta dynamo Teun Koopmeiners, rated around £50 million for his industry, range of passing and game IQ. Up front, PSV starlet Johan Bakayoko is being tracked, with Liverpool ready to bid over £40 million for the Belgian winger’s versatility across the front line. At the back, negotiations are advancing for Sporting CP’s Gonçalo Inácio, whose £51 million release clause and ball‑playing style tick all the boxes.
If these three follow Frimpong through the door, Liverpool’s summer spend would top £200 million — clear proof the club is backing Slot to rebuild a title‑challenging, Champions‑League‑ready squad as a new era dawns at Anfield.
