Following their long-awaited Premier League title celebration, Liverpool are preparing to enter a bold new chapter under the guidance of newly appointed manager Arne Slot. With big changes expected this summer, the Reds are targeting major reinforcements to maintain their domestic dominance and mount a serious challenge across all competitions.
Here’s a breakdown of Liverpool’s projected transformation and likely lineup under Slot:
Jeremie Frimpong In, Trent Out
With Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving the club as a free agent, Liverpool have swiftly secured Bayer Leverkusen’s dynamic right-back Jeremie Frimpong for €35 million. Known for his speed, attacking flair, and defensive work rate, Frimpong is set to bring a new dimension to the Reds’ flanks.
Florian Wirtz: The Star Signing
The crown jewel of Liverpool’s summer is expected to be Florian Wirtz. The attacking midfielder, who dazzled in the Bundesliga with 10 goals and 12 assists, is joining Liverpool in a historic deal reportedly exceeding £120 million. Wirtz’s ability to play as a false nine, a No. 10, or wide attacker gives Slot tactical flexibility rarely seen since the days of peak Coutinho.
Milos Kerkez to Reinvent the Left Flank
With Andy Robertson entering his twilight years and Kostas Tsimikas struggling to impress, Liverpool are turning to Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez. The promising Hungarian fullback is tipped to take over as first-choice left-back, with a move imminent as personal terms are already agreed.
Other Major Targets
Julian Alvarez: With Alexander Isak potentially out of reach, Liverpool are reportedly chasing the Argentine star from Manchester City. A £125m release clause could be a hurdle, but Liverpool’s interest is serious.
Jorrel Hato (Ajax): A rising defensive talent who could bolster the back line.
Rayan Cherki (Lyon): A versatile, creative wide player being monitored.
Kevin De Bruyne: A shock potential move if Manchester City part ways with the veteran playmaker.
Projected XI (4-2-3-1 Formation):
GK: Alisson
DEF: Frimpong, Konaté, Van Dijk, Kerkez
MID: Mac Allister, Endo/Gravenberch
ATT MID: Salah, Wirtz, Díaz
ST: Núñez/Jota
With fresh blood and Slot’s tactical acumen, Liverpool may very well be entering a new golden era. Fans are now watching closely as the club maneuvers through a crucial summer window
poised to reshape its future.
