Liverpool are preparing for the upcoming summer transfer windows to make sure that they back new manager Arne Slot strongly following a rousing start to the season.
Slot has proved that there is life at Liverpool after Jurgen Klopp as the Reds are now sitting at the summit of the Premier League standings.
Liverpool have won five of their opening six Premier League games and have made a solid start to their Championship campaign by scoring victories in their first two fixtures.
The solid start to the season has come on the backdrop of a meandering transfer window where they failed to sign a number 6, which was a priority for the Reds.
Ryan Gravenberch has been repurposed brilliantly to play in the deep midfield role but the Merseyside giants want to bring in a new top-class defensive midfielder in the winter transfer window.
Liverpool are also working on signing a potential successor to Mohamed Salah who is months away from being free to hold talks over a pre-contract with clubs.
Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi has been identified as someone who could replace Salah but he is also wanted at Manchester United and Newcastle United.
Dortmund are keen to avoid a serious injury to the Liverpool target who could bring in €50m or more to their coffers in the near future
Adeyemi scored a hat-trick in Dortmund’s 7-1 win over Celtic in the Champions League on Tuesday night and is the talk of the town around the Westfalenstadion.
The 22-year-old striker already has ten goal contributions in eight appearances in all competitions this season and is wanted at clubs such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle United.
However, he was substituted shortly into the second half due to a minor injury and according to Ruhr Nachrichten, Dortmund do not want to risk their €50m-rated player.
Adeyemi is unlikely to be in the squad when Dortmund take on Union Berlin on Saturday afternoon.
The Bundesliga giants are keen to ensure they do not aggravate any injury for the attacker and put him in cotton wool.
Adeyemi has ruled out a transfer in the winter window but Dortmund are known for being a selling club and a big enough offer could change the thinking at the Westfalenstadion.
