Arne Slot’s tenure at Liverpool began quietly in the transfer market, with Federico Chiesa the only addition during his first window at Anfield. However, the Dutchman is expected to oversee a far more aggressive recruitment drive in 2025 as the Reds prepare for a potential squad overhaul.
Liverpool are bracing for the possible departures of star duo Trent Alexander-Arnold and Darwin Nunez. With that in mind, the club is prioritizing reinforcements in both full-back positions and across the forward line.
On the left side of defense, Liverpool are actively pursuing Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez. The 20-year-old Hungarian has impressed under Andoni Iraola and is reportedly keen on a move to Anfield at the conclusion of the current campaign. Kerkez is seen as a long-term successor to Andrew Robertson, who remains the club’s first-choice left-back.
Another name on Liverpool’s radar is Fulham’s Antonee Robinson. The American international has emerged as one of the Premier League’s top full-backs in recent seasons. With both Kerkez and Robinson in the frame, Liverpool face a key decision on who will anchor the left flank going forward.
Up front, Alexander Isak is a top target as Liverpool seek a new central striker. Newcastle are determined to keep the Swedish forward and are offering a new contract to deter interest, but failure to secure Champions League football could open the door to a move. Arsenal are also reportedly in the hunt.
The right-back position may become a pressing concern if Alexander-Arnold departs on a free transfer to Real Madrid, as widely expected. Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong has been identified as a strong candidate to fill that void. Frimpong has thrived under Xabi Alonso in a wing-back role and could provide a dynamic presence down the right.
Finally, with Mohamed Salah’s future uncertain, Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo is emerging as a primary target. The Cameroon international is also drawing interest from Arsenal and Manchester United, setting up a potential transfer battle.
Liverpool’s summer window looks set to be transformative as Slot begins to mold the squad in his image.
