According to reports, Liverpool’s ownership group has given manager Arne Slot a sizable financial commitment before their 2025–2026 Premier League title defense.
With their 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, the Reds won their second Premier League title and guaranteed their place in the top flight.
Even with the team’s achievements, there is still room for improvement, as strikers Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota have both underperformed this year.
The left-back Additionally, Andrew Robertson’s position in the starting lineup has been questioned, so it wouldn’t be shocking if they looked to add a few players in advance of the 2025–2026 campaign.
According to the Daily Mail, Slot’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), will give him the money he needs to sign a striker, a left-back, and a center-back during the summer transfer window. A midfield player might also be on the radar.
With 28 goals and 18 assists, Mohamed Salah leads the league in both categories and appears certain to win both the Golden Boot and Playmaker of the Season award. However, the team has perhaps relied too much on his skill.
Slot might not be able to rely on Nunez and Jota next season given their combined goal total of just 11 goals, the former’s inconsistent play, and the latter’s injury history.
It should be mentioned that by the time 2025–2026 begins, Salah will be 33 years old, and it is uncertain if he will be able to continue producing at his current pace.
Hugo Ekitike, a striker for Eintracht Frankfurt, has been linked to a move to Anfield. The Reds may be able to maintain attacks in the final third thanks to his ability to link play and receive the ball in tight spaces.
Although he may have a lot to offer as a rotational option, Robertson, who is 31 years old and has arguably declined significantly defensively, will probably need to be phased out of the team.
Milos Kerkez of Bournemouth has reportedly caught the Reds’ attention; his unwavering attitude makes him a suitable stylistic substitute for Robertson.
Ibrahima Konate, a center-back for Liverpool, has had a fantastic season overall, but the club may have to sell him soon because his contract is about to expire in the summer.
If the Frenchman leaves, Slot might turn to Dean Huijsen, a 20-year-old teammate of Kerkez who has shown incredible skill with the ball.
