Liverpool are expected to sign a striker in the summer transfer window as Arne Slot seeks to add a reliable goalscorer to his squad at the end of the season.
Darwin Nunez has failed to convince everyone at Anfield and while Diogo Jota has been preferred, the Portuguese is far from a natural number 9 and is better in the wide areas.
The Merseyside giants are tracking several strikers across Europe as they seek to bring in a reliable number 9 who could lead the line for the club from the 2025/26 season onwards.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush and Newcastle United striker Alexander-Isak are some of the forwards the club are tracking as they continue to assess their options until the end of the campaign.
It has been claimed that one more top striker’s name has been added to the shortlist of Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes and his recruitment team.
The club have their eyes on a Serie A star striker
According to the Italian sports daily Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram has emerged as a viable target for the Merseyside giants for a move next summer.
He has eight goals and five assists across all competitions this season and has been a massive player for Inter since joining the club last year on a free transfer.
The Frenchman has piqued the interest of Liverpool who admire the quality he adds to a forward line with his goalscoring talent and his ability to contribute in building up attacks.
The Reds are considering making a move for him next summer but he would be an expensive option.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
He has a €85m release clause in his Inter contract and the Nerazzurri do not have any plans to sell the French striker in the near future.
If Liverpool want to sign him, they would have to trigger the massive clause in his Inter contract.
Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in Thuram and are plotting to take him back to France at the end of the season.
It remains to be seen whether the Reds are prepared to pay such a massive fee for the 27-year-old striker in the next summer transfer window.
