Fresh off a stunning Premier League title win in Arne Slot’s debut season, Liverpool are aiming even higher for the 2025/26 campaign. With Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk committing their futures to the club, belief is surging that a new golden era at Anfield is about to unfold.
Despite the free transfer exit of Trent Alexander-Arnold, optimism remains high. The Reds are already making big moves before the transfer window officially opens, with speculation mounting around marquee signings.
Dream Line-up: Key Additions and Tactical Tweaks
Goalkeeper & Defense:
Alisson Becker retains his spot as Liverpool’s first-choice keeper. In defense, Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong is poised to replace Alexander-Arnold at right-back, bringing raw pace alongside the dependable duo of Van Dijk and Konaté at center-back. Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is tipped to succeed Andrew Robertson at left-back, aligning with Slot’s high-energy system.
Midfield Overhaul:
Ryan Gravenberch has undergone a revival under Slot, emerging as a dominant force in midfield. Partnered by Alexis Mac Allister, who thrives in an advanced role, the duo is expected to be joined by one of Europe’s most coveted midfielders: Florian Wirtz. The Bayer Leverkusen maestro is reportedly keen on a move to Anfield, with Liverpool edging out Bayern Munich in the pursuit.
Forward Trio:
Salah leads the line on the right wing, still delivering world-class output. Liverpool are pursuing Newcastle’s Alexander Isak to fill the striker void—valued at over £100m, his Premier League experience and prolific form make him a priority. On the left, Cody Gakpo is expected to get the nod ahead of Luis Díaz and Diogo Jota due to his recent performances.
Ambitions and Investment
Liverpool are reportedly preparing a £200m+ double swoop for Wirtz and Isak, underlining their ambition to dominate both domestically and in Europe. Despite departures and injuries, Arne Slot’s tactical clarity and Liverpool’s aggressive recruitment hint at a squad ready to defend thei
r title in style.
