Liverpool are on the cusp of lifting the Premier League title this season, but work is underway to strengthen Arne Slot’s hands in the summer. It appears the Reds could have to pay less than what was anticipated if they make a move for a forward they have been tracking since last year.
The Merseyside giants have big plans for the summer as they look to reward Arne Slot for a brilliant first season by backing his vision to reshape the squad.
The Liverpool manager is looking to reconfigure the forward line and end the team’s overdependence on Mo Salah for goals and creativity in the final third.
Richard Hughes and his recruitment team are tracking several attackers, and one of them could be available for a fee less than what was previously thought.

Liverpool are to get a discount on the fee for an attacker
West Ham are plotting to sell one of their top attackers in the summer to raise funds for their own recruitment plans ahead of next season.
Mohammed Kudus is the player who is likely to be sacrificed, and Liverpool are among the clubs that are interested in getting their hands on the attacker.
He has also attracted interest from Saudi Arabia, but it is unclear whether he would be keen on a move to the Middle East at this stage of his career.
He has a £80m release clause in his contract, which is a major stumbling block for his Premier League suitors, but according to Football Insider, West Ham are prepared to compromise.
The Hammers would be prepared to sell for a fee in the region of £70m if clubs make an offer for him in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Liverpool have been keeping tabs on him, and it remains to be seen whether the latest development pushes them to try and sign him in the coming months.
