Arne Slot has endured a quiet first summer as Liverpool, but after their Premier League success, the Reds are ready to be much more active with their transfers
Arne Slot could not confirm whether Liverpool was set for a blockbuster summer transfer market, but claimed that they look “look positive”. The Reds have just celebrated Premier League success with all eyes now on their recruitment.
Slot has performed impressively with the team he inherited from Jurgen Klopp. He chose adding the group with the MerseSiders particularly quiet 12 months ago. This time they are tipped to be much more productive in terms of arrivals.
Liverpool's focus was on retaining their top talent with Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah who choose to stay in Anfield, but Slot is insisting that he and the hierarchy were aligned in their vision, while they want to add to an already impressive team that won the top flight at a canter.
The departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves a hole on the right, while there are calls to strengthen the Reds to strengthen their front line to relieve dependence on Salah.
Slot told The Sky Sports: “I don't know if it will be much, but we know, the club, Richard [Hughes]The property, we are all tailored to what we are trying to achieve. It is already very, very positive that we have held Mo and Virgil and a few others we try to sign positively.
“We are very happy with the team we have. This club has always shown that if they can strengthen, that's what we do. Big summer or not, it's great because we have won the competition.”
Liverpool is linked to Milos Kerkez van Bournemouth and they will continue to hunt for Florian Wirtz, who is expected to leave Bayer Leverkusen. It is the Reds and Bayern Munich who go behind the playmaker of £ 127 million with Manchester City who deteriorates from the race.
Slot says that there will be no wholesale changes in Liverpool, nor will they rip their tactics after a title -winning season. However, he admits that they will be challenged more in the next term, because he will remain open and would like to strengthen the team.
The Dutchman said: “It would be strange if I were to play completely differently because we just won the competition, but we have to adjust. You should always try to get better. We have to improve with these players and if there is a possibility to strengthen the other players. Next season the competition will also be better.”
