Liverpool are pushing towards securing a few early deals this summer, and their transfer activity is in full flow even though the season is yet to end. However, the Reds are now facing a real threat of losing a top target to Arsenal in the coming weeks.
Arne Slot wants to carry out a major overhaul of the squad and has prioritised signing a striker, a defender and a left-back in the upcoming transfer window.
However, the Liverpool manager is also keen to add wide forwards to his squad, and the club have been lining up a deal to sign a major superstar for a big fee in the summer.
But the Merseyside giants are not the only contender for him, and they are now facing stiff competition from Arsenal for the superstar’s signature.

Arsenal push to steal a player wanted at Liverpool
Rodrygo has made up his mind about leaving Real Madrid after remaining an unused substitute in their defeat at Barcelona last weekend.
Liverpool have already been in contact with his camp, and his agent and family are expected to arrive on Merseyside soon for more talks with the Reds.
However, according to Fichajes, Arsenal are prepared to spoil Liverpool’s plans of signing the Real Madrid star in the upcoming transfer window.
The Gunnerd have held preliminary discussions with his camp, and while there have been no formal negotiations, they are closely monitoring his situation.
Arsenal want a top wide attacker for their left flank, and believe Rodrygo could be a game-changer of a signing in the summer transfer window.
Real Madrid have not made the final call and will wait for incoming manager Xabi Alonso to decide the forward’s future.
However, they are open to selling the Brazilian for a fee of £85m this summer.
