Liverpool are in the market for attackers this summer as Arne Slot wants more depth in that department for next season. However, the Reds are facing the prospect of watching a Premier League-proven forward move to Manchester United in the upcoming window.
The Reds are on the cusp of signing Jeremie Frimpong as their first signing of the summer, and are in advanced negotiations to secure a deal for Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez.
However, Slot is pushing to bring in a new number 9, which is a priority, and wide forwards to add more strength and depth to their attack ahead of next season.
Liverpool are keen to bring in a Premier League-proven option, but it appears Manchester United are set to beat them to the signature of a top target this summer.

Manchester United initiate talks for Premier League star
Antoine Semenyo has been on Liverpool’s radar for a while, and he is seen as someone who can add real depth and quality to their attack.
However, Liverpool have not made a concrete move to sign him yet, while Manchester United are pushing hard to try and secure a deal for him.
According to TEAMTalk, Manchester United have already opened talks with Bournemouth to sign the forward in the upcoming transfer window.
Manchester United are close to signing Matheus Cunha, and have held direct talks with Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap ahead of the summer.
The club are now pushing on a deal for Semenyo, but a lot will depend on Bournemouth agreeing to negotiate down their price.
The Cherries have slapped an asking price of £65m, but it appears no club are prepared to offer such sums for the attacker in the upcoming transfer window.
Liverpool are unlikely to pay such a big figure for a player who is unlikely to be a starter for Arne Slot if he joins the club.
