Liverpool are in the market for attackers this summer as Arne Slot wants a fresh-looking forward line next season. However, the market for forwards is tough and Manchester United’s need for attacking talents is set to complicate matters more.
Slot wants to end the team’s overdependence on Mo Salah for goals and assists, and is keen to get some fresh attackers in the team next season.
Signing a number 9 is the top priority, but Liverpool are also looking at wide forwards who could come in and make a real difference to the team next season.
Sporting director Richard Hughes wants to bring in Premier League-proven talents, but it seems Manchester United have stolen a match on one particular target.

The Merseyside giants are getting outpaced by Manchester United
Ruben Amorim is insistent that he needs a much better forward line to revitalise Manchester United, and the club are already pressing forward on deals to sign Liam Delap and Matheus Cunha.
According to talkSPORT, significant work has now gone into signing one more Premier League attacker in Antoine Semenyo.
Liverpool have also been tabs on the forward who is set to leave Bournemouth for a bigger club in the Premier League this summer.
Hughes believed that his connections at Dean Court would make Liverpool the frontrunners to sign Semenyo in the coming months.
However, Manchester United have already marched past the Reds and have held talks with the forward and his representatives.
Semenyo is keen on a move to Old Trafford and has been impressed with how much the Red Devils want to sign him this summer.
Manchester United are also set to provide him guarantees of being in the starting eleven, which Liverpool cannot offer at this stage of the summer.
