Liverpool is preparing for a 'large' summer transfer window and the 3-1 loss of Sunday against Chelsea demonstrated that improvements can be made despite securing the Premier League title
Life after Premier League Champions is not easy. Liverpool learned that on Sunday, when they walked a disappointing 3-1 loss for Chelsea.
Arne Slot mentioned a rotated line-up at Stamford Bridge, rewarding players who have been on the edge. However, the Dutchman did not get the desired response, because Liverpool followed for three minutes.
Chelsea doubled their lead in their second half thanks to its own goal of Jarell Quansah and it got worse for the Reds youngsters when he gave away a penalty in the interruption time. Virgil van Dijk's deceased header could not arouse a comeback.
One defeat is not enough to burst Liverpool's bubble, but it is a reminder that there is still room to improve. Slot has plagued fans that a 'Big Summer' is on the horizon, where the Reds want to win back-to-back titles for the first time since 1984.
Here is an overview of the latest transfer news from Anfield.
Man Utd joins Race for Mbeumo
Manchester United is ready to participate in the race to sign Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo, who is connected to Liverpool and Newcastle. Mbeumo, 25, was part of the bee side who won 4-3 against United on Sunday and the Red Devils kept a close eye on his individual version.
The Telegraph report that the £ 60 million winger is high on the Shortlist of United. Mbeumo has scored 18 goals and this season provided six assists in the Premier League and will be a lot of demand in the summer.

Slot makes access to transfer
Arne Slot admits that, despite being happy with his current team, Liverpool cannot stand still in the summer transfer window. Slot said Sky Sports: “We will see what the summer will bring, but I have often said that we are happy with the team we have.
“It is also true that this is the second year in a row, these players are together and sometimes it can be good to bring some new energy. The last time [summer]We have decided to keep them all so that we will see what we will do, but it has already been a big summer.
“Only when we see a chance of the market or we see that someone we think can improve us. It is not that easy to improve this team because they have already won the Premier League.”
Real Sociedad Chief Issues Zubimendi Update
The real Sociedad President Jokin Aperbay has suggested that Martin Zubimendi did not make a definitive decision about his future. The Spain midfielder Zubimendi was almost at Liverpool for £ 50 million last summer, but the 26-year-old now seems to be in the Arsenal.
“We will see what happens,” said Aperbay. The only thing I ask of him is a final attempt to qualify for Europe and whatever happens, will happen in June. It makes no sense to speculate now whether he will be there. He has had several chances to leave and he will make the decision he wants because he will have more options. “
