Liverpool have moved like champions in the market, and are set to bring in some exciting players to strengthen the squad that won the Premier League. However, age-old rivals Manchester United could scupper their deal to sign a top striker this summer.
The Merseyside giants are closing in on a record-breaking deal to sign Florian Wirtz, who could be in England this week for a medical ahead of joining the Reds.
Liverpool are expected to announce the arrival of Jeremie Frimpong on Sunday when the window opens, and they are also trying to finalise a deal for Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez in the coming weeks.
The Reds are still looking to bring in a striker, but Manchester United are now preparing to hijack their move for a top forward in the upcoming transfer window.

Manchester United are preparing a bid for a top striker wanted at Liverpool
Hugo Ekitike has had a stellar season at Eintracht Frankfurt and is almost certain to leave the German club in the upcoming transfer window.
Liverpool have identified him as their top forward target, and Chelsea are also pushing to take him to Stamford Bridge in the summer as part of their plans.
However, according to CaughtOffSide, Manchester United have barged into the race to sign the striker in the upcoming transfer window.
Ruben Amorim wants a new number 9, and Manchester United have held internal discussions about the possibility of signing the Frenchman this summer.
It has been claimed that the Red Devils are working on making a formal offer to sign the French striker ahead of the 2025/26 season.
However, not being in Europe next season is going to be a handicap for the Red Devils as Ekitike wants to play in the Champions League or at least the Europa League.
