Liverpool Eye Free Agents to Bolster Squad Ahead of Summer Overhaul
Liverpool are planning significant squad upgrades in the upcoming transfer window, and targeting free agents could be a savvy move to strengthen key positions while conserving funds.
Here are five free agents reportedly on the Reds’ radar:
—
1. Leroy Sané (Winger, Bayern Munich)
With uncertainty surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future, Liverpool are considering Leroy Sané as a potential replacement. The 29-year-old German international, whose contract with Bayern is set to expire, is a natural fit with his left foot and right-wing preference — similar to Salah. Having previously impressed at Manchester City with 39 goals and 43 assists in 135 games, Sané has hinted at a return to the Premier League if the conditions are right.

2. Jonathan David (Striker, Lille)
As Liverpool aim to enhance their forward line beyond Darwin Núñez, Jonathan David emerges as a serious option. The Canadian striker has netted 23 goals this season, including 9 in the Champions League. With his contract expiring, he could be a cost-effective alternative to pricier targets like Alexander Isak.
—
3. Ángel Gomes (Midfielder, Lille)
A former Manchester United academy talent, Ángel Gomes has blossomed at Lille into one of Ligue 1’s standout midfielders. At 24, he offers versatility in both attacking and deeper midfield roles and was among the league’s top assist providers last season. After turning down a lucrative West Ham offer, he may be available on a free — and Liverpool have been keeping tabs.

4. Unnamed Defender (Van Dijk Successor)
While specific names haven’t been disclosed, reports suggest Liverpool are also scouting free-agent centre-backs as they begin planning for life after Virgil van Dijk.
—
5. Unnamed Versatile Free Agent
The club is also believed to be eyeing additional free agents, likely targeting experience and flexibility in defense or midfield to round out the squad without incurring transfer fees.

Conclusion:
With potential exits looming and multiple areas to reinforce, tapping into the free-agent market could allow Liverpool to rebuild smartly under Arne Slot — saving big while still landing proven talent.
