Liverpool are in the market for attackers this summer, and the club have been assessing several targets ahead of the transfer window. However, the Reds are set to trigger a very controversial move to sign a former Manchester United forward.
Arne Slot wants to end his team’s overdependence on Mo Salah for goals, and if he has his way, the Dutchman will have a very new-looking Liverpool attack at his disposal next season.
Signing a number 9 has been the club’s biggest priority, but the club are also considering moves for several wide forwards ahead of the end of the season.
However, Liverpool are now plotting to get their hands on a forward that would set tongues wagging, even on Merseyside, if he ends up at Anfield in the summer transfer window.
Can you name the team Liverpool signed these players from?
The Reds have their eyes on a controversial ex-Man United star
Mason Greenwood faced multiple allegations, which were eventually dropped, and Manchester United had to agree to sell him last summer to avoid more controversy.
He has been one of the best forwards in Ligue 1 this season, scoring 18 goals in 32 league appearances for Marseille.
And according to CaughtOffSide, Liverpool are seriously considering taking him to Anfield in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Despite the controversy surrounding him, the 23-year-old Englishman remains a brilliant player, and the Reds are now keen to try and sign him.
His name has become more prominent in discussions within Liverpool’s recruitment team, but any move for him would be controversial and not just because he is the product of the Manchester United academy.
Marseille do not want to sell him, but they are likely to sell Greenwood if they receive offers in the region of £60m this summer.
Greenwood also wants to return to the Premier League and get one more chance to resurrect his career in English football.
