Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes and his recruitment team have been working hard to set up deals for the upcoming transfer window. The Reds are working on several targets, but it seems one of them could be on the way to Chelsea this summer.
Arne Slot has made demands to the club to properly back him in the summer transfer window after he delivered the Premier League title in his first season.
Liverpool are prepared to bring in as many as five new signings to bolster Slot’s title-winning squad and give him more options to work with next season.
The Reds are keen to add young talents, but it seems Chelsea are set to beat them to the signature of one of the top young players in the upcoming transfer window.

Chelsea flex their financial muscle for Liverpool target
Jamie Gittens has already told his teammates that he will be moving on from Borussia Dortmund in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The England Under-21 star has been on Liverpool’s radar for months, and the club are working towards trying to sign him ahead of next season.
However, according to CaughtOffSide, Chelsea have barged into the race and are prepared to offer big money to convince Gittens to move to Stamford Bridge.
It has been claimed that the Blues have been in contact with his representatives and are prepared to offer him a lucrative contract, which would double his current wages at Dortmund.
Manchester City also have a strong interest in the winger who was in their academy before moving to Dortmund in the summer of 2020.
Liverpool are still interested in the winger, but are unlikely to pay over the odds to sign the England Under-21 star.
Dortmund are prepared to sell him if they receive an offer in the region of £55m this summer.
