Liverpool are expected to spend big in the summer transfer window to back Arne Slot, who delivered the Premier League title in his first season. However, the Reds are also preparing for the departure of a few title heroes in the coming months as an overhaul is on the cards.
Richard Hughes, the Liverpool sporting director, has his work cut out to back up the good work carried out by Slot this season by significantly improving the squad in the summer.
However, the Liverpool dealmaker will also have to find ways to earn considerable fees from the departure of players who are not a major part of the manager’s future plans.
One such player could be on the move in the summer, and it has been claimed Newcastle are plotting to raid Liverpool to sign a top creative talent in the coming months.

Liverpool star primed for shock move to Newcastle
Newcastle are prepared to spend big in the summer, with the club now looking likely to play in the Champions League next season.
With their PSR worries easing, the Magpies are ready to unleash themselves in the transfer window, and according to TEAMTalk, they are interested in signing Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott.
The attacking midfielder has emerged as a top target for Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, who wants to add more creativity to his team next season.
Elliott has been a bit part player under Slot, and recently indicated that he could be leaving Liverpool this summer for the good of his career.
Liverpool are still undecided on selling him, but if the Reds end up bringing in more midfielders this summer, he would be allowed to move on.
The Merseyside giants want a cool £50m from his sale as he still has two years left on his contract, and is a Premier League-experienced player.
