As Liverpool prepares for the Arne Slot era, the club is actively exploring reinforcements across key areas of the squad. Here’s a breakdown of their current targets:
Strikers
Liverpool are monitoring several high-profile and emergingforwards: Alexander Isak (Newcastle)
A long-term target seen as the perfect fit. The club explored a move last summer but were limited by Newcastle’s PSR concerns. This summer, Newcastle are under no such pressure and value him at well over £100 million.
Victor Osimhen (Napoli)
Returning from a loan spell at Galatasaray, Osimhen is back on the market with one year left on his contract. Though older than Isak (26), his price is expected to be more accessible this time around.
Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig)
A highly rated 21-year-old Slovenian striker expected to move this summer. Liverpool and Arsenal have been monitoring him closely.
Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Enjoying a resurgence in Germany, Ekitike has re-entered the radar of top European clubs, including Liverpool.
Wingers
Liverpool are seeking versatile wide forwards, especially those effective on both flanks:
Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)
Both 25, both capable on either wing and centrally, and both with a solid Premier League goal return.
Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
Has impressed this season, but a move could be difficult—especially if Villa qualify for the Champions League.
Anthony Gordon (Newcastle)
Linked last summer during Newcastle’s PSR crunch, but a move now seems unlikely.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (PSG)
A past target who ended up at PSG in January. A move back to the Premier League now seems remote.
Left-Backs
Liverpool want a long-term successor to Andy Robertson:
Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth)
The standout left-back in the Premier League this season. Formerly signed by Richard Hughes, now faces competition from Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Antonee Robinson (Fulham)
Rayan Ait-Nouri (Wolves)
Both have had impressive seasons and fit Liverpool’s attacking full-back profile.
Other Positions
Centre-Back
With questions around Gomez and Quansah, and a left-footed centre-back needed, Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth) is a key target. He’s two-footed, but Liverpool face competition from Real Madrid, Arsenal, Spurs, and others.
Right-Back
Arne Slot admires his former player Lutsharel Geertruida, while Jeremie Frimpong (Leverkusen) has been linked. Liverpool may opt to back Conor Bradley, with Gomez or Quansah providing cover.
Central Midfield
Still an open question. Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad) was a major target last summer but is now Arsenal-bound. Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace) is a newer name linked as a possible fit.
