Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has gone to work on several deals, and the club hope to bring in new signings early in the window. He has taken concrete steps towards securing the signature of a top Brazilian star in the coming weeks.
The Merseyside giants want to show ambition in the market after winning the Premier League title, and the club have made progress on several deals.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot wants to bring in several reinforcements, and he is keen to get the business done early to ensure he can have his new signings during pre-season.
The impending departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold has made signing a right-back a priority, and the club have moved forward on a deal to sign a Brazilian from Ligue 1.

Merseyside giants hold talks with a top target
Liverpool are looking at several right-back targets, including Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong, who has a £30m release clause in his contract.
However, according to Goal Brazil, Liverpool have made moves towards trying to sign Monaco’s Brazilian right-back Vanderson this summer and have held talks with his agents.
The 23-year-old defender is seen as the perfect profile to replace Alexander-Arnold, and the club believe he is ready for a step-up in his career.
He still has three years left on his contract, but Liverpool are confident they can offer a deal that would see Monaco cash in on Vanderson in the coming weeks.
The Brazilian wants to play in the Premier League, and would be open to a move to Liverpool if they table an offer for him.
The Ligue 1 club are prepared to sell him if a club are ready to offer a deal worth around £25m in the next summer transfer window.
Liverpool will make an official offer for him once they have an agreement in place with the player’s camp.
