Liverpool are looking to bring in several new signings to bolster Arne Slot’s title-winning squad. However, they are facing competition for several top targets, and Newcastle United are set to sign a top player over the Reds in the upcoming transfer window.
Slot wants major surgery on his squad in the summer, and Liverpool are set to back him with as many as five new signings before the start of the 2025/26 season.
Sporting director Richard Hughes is holding talks with several representatives and is setting up potential deals for the upcoming summer transfer window.
However, the competition for certain players is too fierce, and Newcastle United are set to beat Liverpool to the signature of a bona fide England star this summer.

Newcastle stun Liverpool with swoop for England star
Marc Guehi has been on Liverpool’s radar for over a year and is seen as someone who could become the long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk.
However, Newcastle made the most effort to sign the centre-back last year and saw several offers rejected getting rejected by Crystal Palace.
But Guehi has remained a top target for the Magpies, and according to Football Insider, they are looking to sign him for a cut-price deal this summer.
Newcastle are pushing hard, and with the defender in the final year of his contract, Palace are likely to sell him in the upcoming transfer window.
Palace rejected offers more than the £70m mark last summer, but are expected to bring in as little as £40m from the England defender’s sale.
Liverpool are still interested, but Newcastle have the edge, and Guehi is believed to be keen on a move to St. James’ Park in the upcoming window.
