Liverpool were crowned Premier League champions on Sunday, but they are working hard behind the scenes to strengthen Arne Slot’s squad in the next window. The Reds are now poised to finalise the arrival of one of their top targets this summer.
Slot wants to carry out a major reshuffle of the squad in the summer, and the board are prepared to back a major overhaul of players in the upcoming months.
Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has his work cut out to bolster the squad, but major work has been done behind the scenes to set up potential deals for the summer.
The Merseyside giants are expected to strengthen their defensive options in the coming months, and it seems a deal for a defender’s arrival is close to being agreed upon.

The Reds close in on signing top target
Dean Huijsen has been the top target for Liverpool this summer, and the club have been in talks with his representatives over a transfer to Anfield.
Hughes recently presented the project and the financial offer to the defender and his camp to convince him to finalise a move to Liverpool this summer.
The Merseyside giants are now the favourites to sign him, and according to TEAMTalk, Bournemouth are already looking at replacements for the Spaniard.
They are expecting his departure, and it has been claimed that FC Lugano’s Albian Hajdari has been identified as a potential successor to Huijsen at Dean Court.
Inter Milan defender Yann Bisseck is one more name on the shortlist of Bournemouth as they prepare for Huijsen’s departure.
The Spaniard has a £50m release clause in his contract, which is payable in instalments as part of the terms of his deal, and Liverpool are close to signing him.
