Liverpool FC is preparing for a crucial summer transfer window, with new manager Arne Slot pinpointing six key signings to reshape the squad ahead of the 2025β26 season.
With uncertainties surrounding the futures of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah, the club is prioritizing reinforcements at both ends of the pitch.
Defensive Reinforcements:
- Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen): A highly rated right-back seen as a natural successor to Alexander-Arnold. His attacking strengths and affordable Β£29.7 million release clause make him a compelling option.
- Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth): The 21-year-old left-back has impressed, and Slot considers him a long-term solution in that position.
- Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth): A young talent in central defense, Liverpool is prepared to activate his Β£50 million release clause to bring him in.
- Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace): An experienced Premier League center-back viewed as a potential long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk.
Offensive Reinforcements:
- Alexander Isak (Newcastle): A proven Premier League goal-scorer who could significantly enhance Liverpoolβs attacking threat.
- Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford): Seen as a possible successor to Salah due to his pace, creativity, and top-tier experience.
Slotβs transfer approach focuses on creating a balanced squad by blending youthful prospects with established talentβaiming to keep Liverpool competitive in both domestic and European competitions.
