Liverpool are on the verge of winning the Premier League, and they are keen to be aggressive to further improve the squad in the summer. Arne Slot is set to get the backing that he didn’t receive last year, and the Reds are prepared to beat competition from fellow Premier League clubs to the signature of some top players in the upcoming window.
Slot is adamant about reshaping his attack, including adding a top-class attacking midfielder to the squad ahead of the start of the 2025/26 season.
Dominik Szoboszlai has failed to be a regular source of goals and assists, and the Reds are actively looking at attacking midfielders such as Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze.
Liverpool have also cast the net far and wide for that number 10 role, and the club are now claimed to be interested in a top attacking midfielder in Spain.

Liverpool set their sights on Athletic Bilbao midfielder
Oihan Sancet has grabbed eyeballs with his performances at Athletic Bilbao, where he has scored 15 goals in 23 La Liga appearances in the ongoing campaign.
He is now being linked with a move to the Premier League, where at least three clubs are considering getting their hands on the Spaniard this summer.
Aston Villa and Tottenham have their eyes on him, but according to Fichajes, Liverpool’s entry into the race has left them reeling.
The Reds have barged into the competition for his signature and are pushing aggressively to convince Sancet to move to Anfield this summer.
The prospect of playing for the potential Premier League winners in the Champions League could be too hard to ignore for Sancet.
He has a £69m release clause in his contract, and Bilbao are likely to demand that figure before agreeing to sell him.
