Following the FA Cup, Liverpool failed to reach the Champions League and Carabao Cup trophies.
Despite leading the Premier League table, in the second half of the season, the main squad is beginning to tire and is unable to play the football it should.
The club is targeting players who will be needed to develop manager Arne Slot’s footballing preferences for next season.
Fabrizio Romano (Italian journalist) predicted that Liverpool’s reinforcement policy would be to strengthen their left-backs, centre-backs and attackers, rather than the defensive midfielders they were trying to acquire in the transfer market last summer.
“ln the summer we expect Liverpool to be really busy,”
“There are several positions to cover, at left-back they love Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth) who is in their list, they’re expected to bring in a new centre-back. let’s see what happens in the midfield.”
“But also up front my expectation is for Darwin Nunez to leave the club in the summer transfer window. He was close to [joining] Al-Nassr in January… let’s see with Saudi Arabia or any other European club, but I expect Darwin Nunez to go.”
“And also for Luis Diaz, there is a concrete possibility to leave Liverpool. At the moment it’s not guaranteed, but it’s a concrete possibility.”
“There were some clubs from Saudi interested in Luis Diaz and he decided to continue with Liverpool one year ago.”
“Summer 2024 there was [also] interest from Manchester City. A deal didn’t happen but the interest was genuine. Now let’s see what happens because Barcelona are looking for a winger and Luis Diaz is appreciated by some people internally at the club.”

We certainly want to strengthen at left-back, where Andy Robertson’s age-related decline is not hidden and Kostas Tsimikas has not performed well enough to take over regularly.
It is also understandable to look at centre-back, where there are many concerns, such as the age of Virgil van Dijk and the injury habits of Joe Gomez.
The Uruguayan striker, who has failed to produce under the Dutch coach, as well as the Colombian winger, who has not been as much of a threat in front of goal as he was earlier in the season, are also inevitable reinforcements for Liverpool, who want to increase their attacking power up front.
