The Merseyside giants have made some bold choices in the transfer window this summer, and are expected to do more in the coming weeks. However, Liverpool are now facing the threat of seeing Arsenal steal one of their long-term targets ahead of next season.
Liverpool have made some ambitious moves this summer following their Premier League success last season, and their pursuit of Florian Wirtz is a sign of their intent.
However, the Reds have several other priorities in the market, including signing a world-class number 9 and a centre-back to improve their defensive options for next season.
But Liverpool are now facing a real threat of watching Arsenal steal a player from under their nose, who is a bona fide England star and one of their long-term targets.
Can you name these 10 Liverpool players from the 2000s?
Arsenal set to steal England star from Liverpool this summer
Marc Guehi’s contract situation has attracted interest from clubs in the Premier League as well as Europe, as he is in the final year of his deal at Crystal Palace.
Inter Milan have held talks with his representatives, and Newcastle believe they have the lead in the race to sign him after their prolonged charm offensive last summer.
Liverpool are also set to accelerate their efforts to sign the England defender, but according to The Athletic, Arsenal have entered the mix for him.
If the Gunners enter the market for a centre-back, Guehi has emerged as the top target for the north London club in the summer transfer window.
Palace will sell for a fee in the region of £35m to £40m, and Arsenal feel this is a great market opportunity to sign a top talent for a reasonable price.
However, it is unclear whether Guehi would be keen to join Arsenal, who already have a settled centre-back pairing of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes.
