Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has his work cut out ahead of the summer. Arne Slot is set to deliver the Premier League title, and the onus is now set to shift on the Reds’ deal maker to bring in the players the manager wants in the next window.
Slot is pushing to revamp the Liverpool squad in the summer. He has several big ideas for the way he wants his team to look at the start of the 2025/26 season.
The Liverpool manager wants a fresh-looking attack next season around Mo Salah, but he is also keen to bring in young legs into the heart of his defence as well.
Liverpool have been looking at several centre-backs, but there is one clear name that has emerged as the top target. However, it seems Real Madrid could end up signing him.

Liverpool could lose out on the top target to Real Madrid if the latter move for him
Dean Huijsen is one of the most wanted young defenders in world football, and at least four Premier League clubs are interested in signing him this summer.
Chelsea are leading the race to sign him, but Liverpool recently held talks with his representatives and have presented the project and their financial offer to him.
However, according to the BBC, if Real Madrid want to sign him, they are almost certain to get their hands on Huijsen in the summer.
The centre-back would prioritise a move to Real Madrid if they step up and make a move to sign him in the upcoming transfer window.
Liverpool are working hard to convince him, but it seems Real Madrid have the edge in the race if they accelerate their interest in the centre-back.
