Liverpool are likely to spend big in the summer to back Arne Slot, who is set to win the Premier League title in his first season at Anfield. The Reds boss wants to revamp his squad in the transfer window, and the club are keen to get behind his vision for the team.
The Merseyside giants are on course to win the league, but work is underway behind the scenes to ensure that they have a better squad before the start of next season.
Slot wants to completely revamp the Liverpool attack over the summer as he seeks to bring in a new number 9 and energetic and young wide forwards to complement Mo Salah.
The Liverpool manager also wants to add an attacking midfielder to his squad, and one of their top targets is also being chased by Manchester United.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
The Reds have their eyes on ‘complete playmaker’
Xavi Simons joined RB Leipzig on a permanent deal from PSG for a fee of £48m, but the German club are open to selling him in the summer.
Liverpool were believed to have ended their interest in him once Salah signed a new contract, but there are suggestions the Reds are still tracking him.
However, according to the Daily Mail, they are set to face serious competition from Manchester United, who are pushing to sign the attacking midfielder in the summer.
At 21, he is the perfect profile for Ruben Amorim’s system, but any deal will hinge on Manchester United winning the Europa League and qualifying for the Champions League.
Liverpool are in a better position to negotiate a deal, but they will have to pay a fee of £68m before acquiring him.
