Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes is tasked with the job of improving a squad that won the Premier League title this season with games to spare. He has already laid down the groundwork on several deals, and it seems he has the encouragement to pursue a top Premier League star.
Arne Slot wants to carry out major surgery on his squad this summer as he pushes to ensure that he has a team ready to compete on all fronts next season.
Liverpool are prepared to hand him a massive transfer war chest and are keen to bring in as many as five new signings in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Reds are pushing to bring in a few Premier League-proven stars, and it seems they have significant encouragement to push towards signing a top player this summer.

Top Premier League star wants Champions League football
Liverpool have always been an attractive destination, but winning the Premier League has made them even more desirable for players with the ambition of competing for the major honours.
The Reds have been tracking Morgan Rogers ahead of the summer, but it was thought Aston Villa would be unwilling to lose him in the next transfer window.
However, according to Football Transfers, Rogers wants to continue to play Champions League football next season, and Villa are sitting seventh in the league table.
The young attacking midfielder wants to continue to compete at the highest level, and a move to Liverpool this summer would be an attractive option for him.
Villa remain reluctant to sell him, but there is a belief that a big enough offer would convince them to let Rogers go, given their PSR issues.
He is rated at around £60m, but it would require significantly more money to convince Villa to sell the attacking midfielder this summer.
