Liverpool are planning to heavily invest in their midfield in the upcoming transfer windows as Arne Slot looks to implement more of his vision on the team in the coming months.
Slot didn’t get to sign the number 6 he wanted after Liverpool abandoned the idea of signing a midfielder following Martin Zubimendi’s refusal to leave Real Sociedad in the summer.
Liverpool already have plans to sign a defensive midfielder in the winter window and are prepared to sell Wataru Endo to part-fund the move in the middle of the season.
However, Liverpool’s plans of reinforcing their middle will continue in the summer with suggestions that the club are considering selling Dominik Szoboszlai next summer.
The club are putting plans in place to replace the Hungary captain and it has been claimed that they might have found their ideal midfielder in Germany.
The club lay their eyes on Swiss midfield talent
Liverpool scouts have been looking at several midfield targets and the club seem to have identified a player in the Eintracht Frankfurt squad.
The Reds have been watching Eintracht’s Omar Marmoush and according to Sky Deutschland, one of his teammates has piqued their attention as well.
Liverpool are claimed to be interested in getting their hands on Eintracht’s 20-year-old midfielder Hugo Larsson.
The Swede joined the German club last summer and has been emerging as one of the best young midfield talents in the Bundesliga.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
He has scored three times this season and Arsenal and Tottenham have also been keeping an eye on his development.
Liverpool are plotting a move next summer but getting him out of Eintracht would be complicated.
Larsson recently signed a new contract until 2029 with the club and is believed to be happy at Eintracht.
With the German club likely to cash in on Marmoush in the summer, they are unlikely to need the funds from another big sale.
Unless a club offer them silly money for Larsson or the player agitates for a move, it doesn’t seem they will be under any pressure to sell him.
