Liverpool has already spent almost £ 200 million on new signing sessions this summer, but the potential arrivals by Alexander Isak and Marc Guehi could almost double that amount
What makes a difference a year. Liverpool hardly got the checkbook during the first summer of Arne Slot – now they can't close it.
You would forgive the Reds to tighten the chase after splitting £ 185 million on three new signing sessions in June. Florian Wirtz broke the British transfer record, while Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez did not become cheap either.
But Liverpool shows no signs of cutbacks, with two Premier League stars on their radar. Starting with the top, the side of Slot runs on their pursuit to Alexander Isak.
An approach was made this week, with the Swedish striker with an instant of £ 125 million. Newcastle insists that Isak, 25, is not for sale, but it can be the start of a saga like Liverpool de Wortel Bungle.
Marc Guehi is a target at the back. Mirror Football recently reported that the Premier League champions close the England International, whose contract with Crystal Palace will end the next summer.
Guehi would not be cheap, with the 25-year-old palace led to Europe after they had established them in a memorable FA Cup victory. Part of the reasoning behind Liverpool's interest in Guehi is the fact that Ibrahima Konate is in a similar situation in Anfield.
The Reds Center-Back seems to conclude his contract in the midst of reports that he could follow in the footsteps of Trent Alexander-Arnold and join Real Madrid with a free transfer in 2026. Some fans have drowned Liverpool to cash to the bank as Guehi signs.
The former Chelsea front view would go into a new defense, with Frimpong and Kerkez the full-backs and Virgil van Dijk the only remaining figure of last season. They would still have the reliable Alisson Becker behind him in the goal, where Giorgi Mhamardashvili was signed to become his long -term successor.
Continue with the familiar 4-2-3-1 formation of Slot, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister would remain as the double pivot at the foot of midfield, but it will not be Dominik Szoboszlai for them if Wirtz is used in his favorite position. Although the versatile German on the left wing or as a striker can play, Slot would probably get the best out of him in the number 10 roll.
Mo Salah is a non -discussion on the right flank, while Cody Gakpo or Luis Diaz – who allegedly wants to leave – would work on the opposite wing. And through the middle there is no doubt that Isak would lead the border.
Can anyone prevent this Liverpool team from winning the Premier League? Say in the commentary part.
Negotiations for those still to complete deals would of course take the time and the Reds have less than a month until they open their Premier League campaign to Bournemouth at home on Friday, August 15. The first competitive match of Liverpool is six days in advance, with a Palace in Community Shield.
As things are now, Guehi will find out the defense of Palace. Later next month, Slot and Co. The trip to Newcastle, where they might have to defend against Isak if they cannot complete a record -breaking transfer deal before that time.
Liverpool's potential starting XI: Alisson; Frimpong, Guehi, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak
