Liverpool are set to put the cat among the pigeons in the ongoing transfer window after winning the Premier League last season. They have refused to stand still after their success, and the Merseyside giants are pushing to make a statement this summer.
Arne Slot won the Premier League with more or less Jurgen Klopp’s squad, barring the arrival of Federico Chiesa last summer, who made just one league start last season.
With Liverpool needing a striker, a defender, left-back and a right-back coming into the transfer window, the Reds were always expected to spend big this summer.
However, Liverpool’s moves early in the window were not predicted by even their most optimistic fans and the club are set to bear fruit in the coming days.

The Merseyside giants are set to blow open the market next week
Liverpool’s pursuit of Florian Wirtz baffled everyone early on as he was almost certain to join Bayern Munich, who had agreed a contract with him last month.
The Reds turned the tide in the saga after the player and his family sat down with Liverpool in England, and he was blown away by the project presented by Arne Slot and Richard Hughes.
Wirtz decided to opt for a move to Anfield despite Bayern Munich offering more money, and Liverpool and Leverkusen have been in talks for days to agree on a fee.
The German side have already rejected two bids, but according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the transfer is set to go through next week.
The two clubs are on the verge of agreeing on a deal, and Liverpool are set to smash the Premier League transfer record by paying a fee of over £126m.
Wirtz has the green light to travel to England next week to complete the formalities of a transfer, which no one saw coming even a month back.
