Liverpool have won the Premier League title with games to spare, but the club are keen to flex their muscle in the transfer window. The Blues are not shying away from raiding their Premier League rivals to sign a top forward in the coming weeks and months.
Arne Slot wants a substantial revamp of his squad, and Richard Hughes, the Liverpool sporting director, is under pressure to deliver the goods this summer.
The Liverpool manager wants to end the team’s overdependence on Mo Salah, and wants a new-look forward line around the Egyptian next season.
The Merseyside giants have been keeping tabs on several forwards ahead of the end of the season, but the club have a great opportunity to raid Chelsea for a solution.

Chelsea star, who is on Liverpool’s radar, wants a transfer this summer
Christopher Nkunu has struggled at Chelsea since arriving from Germany, and didn’t envisage playing for a team who are not competing for the major trophies.
The Frenchman still has four years left on his contract, but according to Sky Deutschland, the forward wants to leave Chelsea this summer.
Nkunku has made the final decision and is pushing to find the exit door at Stamford Bridge in the upcoming transfer window.
He sees no future at Chelsea, and his agents have already been in contact with Premier League clubs to offer their client.
Liverpool have been contacted, and the Reds are indeed interested in securing a deal to take him to Anfield in the summer.
The Reds believe that Nkunku remains a fine player, and in a more stable environment, he can still succeed.
The Frenchman would also prefer a move to Anfield over other clubs if Liverpool make an offer to sign him.
Chelsea would want to recoup as much of the £60m they paid to sign the forward in 2023.
