Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes is in talks with several players’ representatives ahead of the summer window. He is trying to line up deals, but it seems the Reds hierarchy have had a rethink on one of their priority targets ahead of the next window.
Arne Slot and the Liverpool recruitment team are in agreement about the club’s priorities ahead of the summer transfer window, and are working accordingly.
Liverpool are set to sign Jeremie Frimpong as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s replacement, but their priority is to sign a striker, a centre-back and a left-back in the upcoming window.
The Merseyside giants have been working on several other deals, but it seems the club are reticent about signing one of their early priority targets this summer.

The Reds are yet to make a concrete move for a top target
Hughes has been working on a deal to sign Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez for months, and there is an expectation that he will end up at Anfield soon.
Despite interest from Manchester City and Real Madrid, Liverpool are the frontrunners to land him as the Hungarian wants to move to Anfield.
However, according to iNews, the Merseyside giants are yet to make a concrete offer for Kerkez despite the noise surrounding their interest in him.
It has been claimed that Liverpool are undecided on signing him, and are now considering Ajax’s Jorrel Hato as a viable target this summer.
The Dutch defender’s ability to play both as a left-back and a centre-back appeals to Slot, who admires multifunctional footballers.
Kerkez is keen on the move and has made it clear to Liverpool during talks with their recruitment team. However, it seems the Reds are having a rethink.
