Despite being in the midst of a Premier League title run, it’s clear that Arne Slot has already been thinking about the future of his Liverpool team.
Speaking in his press conference, our head coach discussed summer plans: “We are looking at every single position and we are looking at the team.
“We didn’t do a lot (last summer) because we – Richard, me and all the others – just wanted to know how these players were working with me, the different manager.
“Now we have a very good idea about that. It is clear that we’ve assessed the squad, we’ve assessed what we think where we can improve, and that’s where we try to go for in the summer.”
It’s seems clear that this will be a big summer of transfer activity and after numerous quiet windows, perhaps this would make sense.
Arne Slot is gearing up for a summer of transfer activity
We’ve already seen reports suggesting that Darwin Nunez could be Saudi bound, with some concern over Diogo Jota’s fitness also meaning that a new No.9 could be on the cards.
Mo Salah’s future remains highly uncertain, much like that of Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, and so their respective contract decisions will make more work too.
Other than that though, we may expect Richard Hughes to be also adding defensive reinforcements and we all know how public our search for a defensive midfielder was last summer.
This all means that almost the entire squad could do with some additions in key areas and that will mean that FSG will be spending a lot of money.
Let’s see how this all unfolds.

Sorry no faith on Hughes or fsg
Talk is cheap
Will only change mind when real money is spent and players bought for now
Hughes has done/ said nothing to change my mind he is just a mouth piece for mongering bags fsg
We will be linked with everyone but will buy 3 players1 from france mid table one Dutch again not one of leading lights and one from Bournemouth but not who you think the total cost will be 55 million well offset by transfers of Diaz and Nunez plus more kids
I hope I’m wrong but deep down you know I’m right
What a sanctimonious post from the football seer. Will be checking back after the summer to watch you eat some humble pie.
I dont care if they buy from mid table team as long as it fits the game plan well. Where do you think our current crop of player come from? VVD, Mo, Szaboslai, Gakpo, Diaz, etc? None of them from top team (we have one BayernM reject, but thats about it)… U are right about the price offset .. but so far they never compromise on quality. Top player who think they are too big for the team are not welcome anyway.
