Liverpool are deep in their plans for the transfer window, and the club are pushing towards securing a few early deals in the summer. However, some of their other targets are more complicated to get over the line, and Manchester City are set to pose a serious threat in the race to sign a top star.
Arne Slot wants to carry out major surgery on his squad over the coming months, and the club are prepared to back his vision for the team in the next window.
The Liverpool manager wants reinforcements in several areas of his squad, but his main priority is to add more attacking flair to the team ahead of next season.
The Reds are looking to bring in Premier League-proven players, but one such star is now a top target for Manchester United for the next transfer window.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
Manchester City push to sign a top Reds target
Pep Guardiola and Manchester City have slipped this season, and they want to be back challenging for the biggest honours in the 2025/26 campaign.
Manchester City spent big in the winter window, and are again ready to open their chequebook in the summer.
Morgan Gibbs-White has been on Liverpool’s radar, but he has been the number one target for Manchester City as well for the next window.
According to TBR Football, Manchester City have held talks with the Nottingham Forest star’s camp for a move to the Etihad in the summer.
Forest have slapped a £100m asking price on the attacking midfielder, but that has not deterred Manchester City from trying to sign him.
Liverpool are still interested in the England star, but Manchester City are making real moves to convince him to move to the Etihad in the next window.
Forest do not want to sell him, but it is almost certain that Gibbs-White will leave the City Ground this summer.
