In just over a month, the Premier League campaign 2025/26 will start and Liverpool will defend the title they won at a canter last season.
The team of Arne Slot will be without Trent Alexander-Arnold who started all his career at Real Madrid, although fans will certainly be happy with the signing sessions of Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz.
Liverpool Board has put their money where their mouth is
Making the group stronger while he is still at the top is the goal of the game, but clubs often wait strangely until they are back on the way back in terms of form before they open club greenhouse to bring in some new blood.
Despite the occasional moans of the Reds -believers, the Liverpool board put their money where their mouths have been since the club, as Wirtz's signing would indicate in particular.
Jurgen Klopp has certainly benefited from their willingness to support his project, and after Slot decided to deal with what he already had and not on an expenses in his opening transfer window in Liverpool, he now reaps the benefits of that decision as the Clubjacht best-in-class exponents to deliver more success.
As with every squadron evolution, to be room for incoming transfers, there are certainly one or two expenses.
Reds must release Darwin Nunez to land Hugo Ekitike
According to reports, the Reds now have the brilliant frontman, Hugo Ekitike van Eintracht, Hugo Ekitike, but to land the 23-year-old, they must first unload Darwin Nunez.
Read our exclusive insight about Ekitike's situation on the transfer market.
Their interest in the Frenchman is understandable after he enjoyed a fantastic season 2024/25 with the Bundesliga -Outfit. Although it is not a break-out season as such, his figures have certainly ensured that he has received wider attention.
48 games that were played in all competitions were the most in the entire Eintracht team, just like its 34 target contributions (22 goals and 12 assists) and 19 great opportunities created.
3.21 Schoten per game were in second place in the team, while his 1.33 key passes per match and 6.15 touches in the opposition box per game also gave him the silver medal.
In short, he has been and has been the 'chief' of Eintracht, although the hierarchy will not panic on the German side about him who has not yet left, given that he has left for four years from his current contract and the club has no plans to sell under their £ 86 million appreciation.

Nunez was bad for Liverpool in 24/25
His figures are also in stark contrast to nunez's, after the Uruguayan seemed to wade through the Trades on some points of the former campaign.
In the 36 games that were played in all competitions, he managed only six goals and three assists.
A shot conversion rate of 13.6% was not bad compared to the rest of the Liverpool team, but it is bad for a striker.
Mo Salah's was at 22.5% by comparison, and even Luis Diaz, who is also apparently a winger instead of a more central attacker, managed to convert 18.9% of the time in it.
In terms of passing, his shocking 284 was only better than Federico Chiesa, Treymaurice Nyoni, Tyler Morton, VÃtezslav Jaros, Jayden Danns and James McConnell, who all played fewer matches.
Of the tribal guests of the first team, Nunez was far behind in terms of his output and even suggests that he played most of the games on the edge of the action for him.
Defensively it is a different story, and it could be surprising to note that his winning of 24 out of 27 total tackles that he tried last season gave him an 85.2% Tackle success, that is huge more than anyone else in the Liverpool team.
Slot's opinion is understandable
It is therefore a pity that the primary goal of scoring or helping goals seemed to leave him almost completely during the previous campaign.
To this end, one can understand why Slot and his back room staff can consider the Uruguayan surplus of requirements, although there is never any guarantee that players will leave calmly if they are completely happy where they are.

Nunez certainly did not start as many games as he had wanted in 24/25, but apparently never expressed a wish to continue.
With Newcastle, Chelsea and Saudi pair, Al Hilal and Al Qadsiah, apparently also for the services of Ekitike, it is clear that the time is essential if Liverpool wants to land the Frenchman.
The World Cup of the club will end soon, and that will re -concentrate the spirits on goals for the season and the start of the new campaign.
Late Window Business is a no-go
The business community can still be done until 1 September, although Liverpool has already played Bournemouth, Newcastle and Arsenal by that time.
A fixed side – and that also applies to Eintracht – is necessary as quickly as possible, and not three weeks in the season, so if there is willing to get the Nunez and Ekitike deals, the time is to get them over the line now.
