Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes is under pressure to deliver this summer after Arne Slot delivered the Premier League title in his first season as their manager. He and his recruitment team are now making some big decisions on the players they are keen to sign in the coming months.
Slot wants to revamp his squad just after winning the Premier League, and the club are prepared to back him with a big budget in the summer transfer window.
Liverpool are looking to bring in forwards in the summer as the Dutchman wants a new-look attack at his disposal at the start of the 2025/26 season.
The Merseyside giants have been keeping tabs on a few forwards, and it seems a big decision has been made on one of the players they have been tracking.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
Richard Hughes takes a big call on a top target
Bryan Mbeumo has been on Liverpool’s radar for over a year, and the club have been considering getting their hands on him in the upcoming transfer window.
He is keen to leave Brentford after another brilliant season with the Bees, and a number of Premier League clubs are interested in getting their hands on him.
However, according to Football Insider, Liverpool have cooled their interest in the Brentford attacker ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
Mo Salah’s signing a new contract has changed the situation, and Liverpool do not believe they need to sign a player like Mbeumo ahead of next season.
Liverpool are prioritising signing a number 9, and a substantial budget is set to go towards signing a striker for Slot in the summer window.
Mbeumo is keen on a move, but it appears he is unlikely to be joining Liverpool in the coming months.
