Liverpool pull off the most shocking transfer coup in club history

Liverpool do not want to shy away from showing ambition in the market, and they have the funds to back that. Sporting director Richard Hughes has the remit to chase seemingly improbable deals, and that is exactly what he is trying to pull off ahead of the start of the next window.

Arne Slot wants to add a sprinkling of stardust to his squad in the summer transfer window after winning the Premier League on a canter this season.

Liverpool are close to finalising a deal to sign Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, and are pushing hard to land a centre-back, a left-back and one more striker.

However, Hughes’ latest pet project ahead of the summer transfer window could see the Reds land one of the best midfielders in the world, if things go according to plan in the coming weeks.

Can you name these 10 Liverpool players from the 2000s?

The Reds are trying something unprecedented this summer

It appeared until recently that Florian Wirtz was Bayern Munich-bound after his representatives worked out an agreement over a contract with the German champions.

However, the German midfielder was in England recently to hold talks with Manchester City, who see him as the perfect successor to Kevin De Bruyne.

But it also emerged that Richard Hughes held talks with the player’s camp, and according to CaughtOffSide, Liverpool are now very much trying to pull off the biggest coup in the club’s history.

Liverpool are scheduled to hold talks with his representatives soon and offer a compelling reason to move to Anfield in the upcoming transfer window.

The Reds want to make a big push for the playmaker, and Bayer Leverkusen would prefer to sell him to a Premier League club than Bayern Munich.

It remains to be seen whether the Reds are prepared to match Leverkusen’s £100m asking price this summer.
