Liverpool want to show real ambition in the market this summer after pulling off a major surprise by winning the Premier League. The 20th title has also made Anfield a coveted destination, and Manchester United are set to lose out on one of their top targets to the Merseyside giants.
Arne Slot is not prepared to stand still after winning the league title, and has demanded that the club carry out a substantial revamp of the squad this summer.
The Liverpool manager wants to end the team’s overdependence on Mo Salah for goals, and is pushing for a completely different-looking forward line next season around the Egyptian.
The Merseyside giants want Premier League-proven forwards, and their gain is set to be Manchester United’s loss in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
The Reds will beat Manchester United to the signature of a top target
Manchester United’s major issue this season has been scoring goals, and Ruben Amorim wants a completely different forward line next season.
Bryan Mbeumo, who has been a Liverpool target, recently emerged as a top option for Manchester United, who want to sign his Premier League-proven talent to their squad.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are not even in the race to sign the Brentford striker this summer.
Liverpool remain the favourites to land him, and the forward will choose a move to Anfield over other destinations in the coming months.
Manchester United are aware that they can’t sign him and are focused on getting a deal over the line for Wolves’ Matheus Cunha this summer.
Brentford are aware that they would have to sell Mbeumo this summer due to interest from Liverpool, but want somewhere around £60m to £65m before agreeing to let the player go.
