Liverpool are in the process of drawing up plans for the January transfer window but they are also working on ideas for the end-of-the-season market as well.
The Reds are said to be carrying out their due diligence on a potential centre-back signing in the winter window and we are well aware of their plans of adding a midfielder.
However, Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes and his recruitment team are putting plans in place for the summer transfer window and what they would need.
Andy Robertson, 30, is one of the senior stalwarts of the Liverpool squad but he has been in and out of the team this season with Kostas Tsimikas often deputising in his space.
Liverpool have come to the conclusion that they need to bring in a long-term successor to Robertson in the summer and the club have been looking at several left-backs.
The club prepare a shortlist for the left-back position
Liverpool have been linked with a move for Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez and Wolves’ Rayan Ait-Nouri but the club are said to have prepared a different shortlist.
According to the Sun, the Merseyside giants have compiled a three-man shortlist to find a replacement for Robertson next summer.
Fulham’s Antonee Robinson and the impressive David Raum from RB Leipzig are high on the shortlist of targets for the Reds.
Both the players are seen as potential first-team players who could come in and walk straight into the starting eleven if either of them joins Liverpool.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
The Merseyside giants are also closely tracking the performance of Ipswich Town’s Lief Davies this season.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot is playing a big role in the process and will have a big say on the eventual target.
The Reds scouts are regularly watching the trio and the club will continue to monitor their performances this season.
Robertson has struggled at the start of the season and while Slot has remained calm about his form, the club are aware that they need a long-term replacement for him.
Work is underway behind the scenes for Liverpool to identify a top target and make their move in the summer transfer window.
