Liverpool are in the market for attackers ahead of the summer, and the club would prefer to bring in Premier League-proven talents. However, the soaring asking price of one of their targets has left the club questioning their plans for the transfer window.
Arne Slot has delivered the Premier League title in his first season as Liverpool manager, and now wants the club to back his vision for the squad this summer.
The Liverpool boss wants to add fresh talent to his forward line, and if he has his way, the attack would look very different at the start of next season.
The Merseyside giants have continued to keep tabs on several attacking options, but the asking price for one of their targets has left them shocked.

Liverpool quoted an absurd asking price for a Premier League star
Bryan Mbeumo is expected to leave Brentford in the summer, and several Premier League clubs are interested in securing a deal to sign him.
The 25-year-old is a proven goalscorer in the Premier League and has scored 18 times in 33 league appearances in the ongoing campaign.
Liverpool are among the top Premier League sides who have their eyes on him, and he is likely to welcome a move to the Premier League champions.
However, according to the Daily Telegraph, Brentford have set a steep asking price for the forward ahead of the summer.
The Bees want a fee of £60m before agreeing to sell him, and believe they will get the money they want, given his record.
However, Liverpool are unlikely to table such a bid for a forward who is not expected to be more than a solid back-up to Mo Salah in the squad, in the short term.
The Reds would want to negotiate that price down if they decide to try and sign the Cameroonian forward in the summer.
