Liverpool appear to be on the brink of a league title and what promises to be an eventful summer, as Arne Slot prepares to leave his mark on the squad.
In The Times, journalist Paul Joyce shared insights on what the transfer window might bring: “Even with the title within reach, Arne Slot is eager to revamp the team and push it to new heights, compiling a lengthy shortlist of targets to ensure the club remains competitive across all fronts.”
A wide range of names have already surfaced—from forwards like Alexander Isak (Newcastle), Julián Álvarez (Atletico Madrid), Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt), and Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth) to defenders such as Milos Kerkez and Dean Huijsen (both Bournemouth), and Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen).
The list also includes promising talents like Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao), Arda Güler (Real Madrid), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), Rayan Cherki (Lyon), Jorrel Hato (Ajax), and Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton). New names seem to appear almost daily on social media.
The sheer number of potential targets suggests that Liverpool are carefully assessing a wide pool of options. Based on the report, a forward and a left-back seem to be the top priorities at the moment—with Alexander Isak and Milos Kerkez emerging as leading candidates.
Still, plenty could shift as the summer window unfolds.
While Slot previously played down the idea of a major squad overhaul before the Leicester match, this wave of transfer speculation may suggest otherwise. It’s unclear whether his earlier remarks were meant to lower expectations about spending, or if plans have shifted following new contract renewals for Mohamed Salah and the club captain.
Time will tell how the summer truly unfolds—but one thing is certain: Arne Slot has a long list of targets in mind.
