Liverpool have won the Premier League with games to spare, but work is underway behind the scenes to improve the squad for next season. However, it seems the club have made some changes to their recruitment ideas ahead of the summer.
Arne Slot wants to carry out a substantial revamp of the squad over the course of the next window, and the club are prepared to back him with a big transfer budget.
The Liverpool manager wants to add more creativity and flair to his midfield in the summer, and signing an attacking midfielder is one of his priorities.
Liverpool have been keeping tabs on several number 10s who have a record of scoring goals and registering assists consistently, but it seems one name is not going to be joining the Reds this summer.

The Reds change plans on signing Premier League star
Morgan Rogers has been one of the outstanding attacking midfielders this season, with 14 goals and 13 assists for Aston Villa in all competitions.
With Villa under PSR pressure to sell players, there are suggestions that Rogers could be sold, and Liverpool have been keeping tabs on him ahead of the summer.
However, according to the Daily Mail, the Merseyside giants won’t be signing the Aston Villa ace in the summer transfer window, as things stand.
Liverpool’s priority is to sign a striker and a left-back before they can consider options to strengthen other areas of the squad in the upcoming months.
Rogers is admired at Anfield, but he is likely to be far too expensive to extract from his Villa contract this summer, and Liverpool are looking at other attacking midfielders.
Villa are likely to sell Ollie Watkins as a way to ease the PSR pressure and raise funds from the market this summer.
