šØšØ Liverpool’s Potential 2025/26 Starting XI if Rumoured Transfers Are Completed š„
As Liverpool gear up to defend their Premier League crown, the clubās summer transfer activity hints at a bold new era under Arne Slot. With marquee signings and smart reinforcements reportedly on the verge of completion, fans are already buzzing about what the Redsā starting XI could look like for the upcoming 2025/26 season.
If the transfer rumours come to fruition, Liverpool could field one of the most exciting and dynamic lineups in Europe.
𧤠Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker
No surprises here. The Brazilian remains the undisputed No. 1 and a critical part of Liverpoolās spine, bringing world-class shot-stopping and composure from the back.
š”ļø Defence
- RB: Jeremie Frimpong (New Signing)
With Trent Alexander-Arnold departing, Frimpong is tipped to bring explosive pace and attacking flair from the right. A perfect modern full-back for Slotās high-tempo system. - CB: Ibrahima KonatĆ©
The Frenchman continues to grow into a defensive leaderāstrong, quick, and confident in one-on-one battles. - CB: Virgil van Dijk
Still the commander at the back, Van Dijk offers stability and leadership. While age may slow him, his reading of the game remains elite. - LB: Milos Kerkez (New Signing)
A young, attacking left-back signed from AZ Alkmaar, Kerkez provides width, energy, and versatilityāSlot’s kind of player.
āļø Midfield
- DM: Arne Pecsi (New Signing)
The Hungarian wonderkid is rumoured to be Slotās long-term solution at the base of midfield. Calm in possession with a strong defensive engine. - CM: Alexis Mac Allister (if he stays)
Assuming he isnāt snapped up by Real Madrid, Mac Allister remains a key creative cog. If he leaves, Liverpool may turn to another marquee name. - CM: Florian Wirtz (New Signing)
The crown jewel of the window. Signed in a record-breaking deal, Wirtz brings vision, flair, and goalsāa new era No. 10 for Liverpool.
āļø Attack
- RW: Mohamed Salah / Rodrygo (TBD)
If Salah stays, the Egyptian king keeps his throne. If he leaves, Rodrygoāheavily linked with a move from Real Madridācould be the electric replacement. - ST: Hugo Ekitike / Alexander Isak (TBD)
Liverpool have reached an agreement with Ekitike, while also targeting Isak. Either way, Slot wants a young, mobile striker to lead the line. - LW: Luis DĆaz
Unless heās sold to fund other deals, DĆaz remains a critical pieceādirect, aggressive, and hard to contain.
š Bench Depth:
- Darwin Núñez
- Curtis Jones
- Harvey Elliott
- Jarell Quansah
- Freddie Woodman (GK)
- Stefan BajÄetiÄ
- Cody Gakpo
- Ben Doak
š§ Manager: Arne Slot
With a new tactical vision, fluid formations, and aggressive pressing, Slotās Liverpool could blend youth, flair, and control. If the club completes its rumoured transfer business, the Reds may enter the 2025/26 season not just as defending championsābut as the team to beat.
