Arne Slot’s side are in a commanding position to win the Premier League.The lack of extensive rotation meant that the main squads were seriously out of condition, and the Champions League and Carabao Cup finals were toothless against Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle respectively.
Aiming to gradually replace Jurgen Klopp’s squad for next season, the Dutchman’s commanders are planning to strengthen in all positions.In addition to centre-backs and right-backs, centre-forwards and wingers are also expected to be reinforced.
With Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Federico Chiesa rumoured to be on the move, a major reshuffle in the front line could happen.
Rob Jacobs, a former manager of Dutch clubs such as Feyenoord and Groningen, said Brazilian international Igor Paixão, currently at Feyenoord, is a more dangerous player than Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo and claimed he would make Liverpool stronger.
“Then I’ll go for Paixao. I really think he will make Liverpool stronger. Arne Slot should also enjoy his development. Gakpo is also a fantastic player of course and is doing well at Liverpool, but I think Paixao is better.”
“It wouldn’t surprise me if Liverpool would report to Feyenoord. Hey, €40m or €50m? They don’t make a fuss about that in England. He is getting better every day. Incredibly goal-oriented, he is the most dangerous man at Feyenoord.”
“He scores magnificent goals. It’s not normal how he scores! That’s how you punish a mistake – pure class. He was not in the pre-selection of Brazil for nothing.”

The diminutive 1.68 m winger, who came to the Netherlands from Coritiba in 2022, plays on the left or right wing.
He has been the mainstay of the team this season, scoring 11 goals and providing 15 assists in 38 completed games through Eredivisie and the Champions League.
He is an excellent ball handler and uses his small size and quickness to break the deadlock on the dribble. He has also gained experience in the Europa League, and at the age of 24, it is time for him to consider a step up.
Will the former Brazil U-23 attacker leave Holland at the end of the season for the Premier League?
