This summer, though, Liverpool could sign a handful of players, with a new right-back, a new left-back, a new center-back and a new striker all understood to be on the agenda.

The anticipated sale of Darwin Nunez will help to raise funds for a new striker, with Liverpool expecting there to be a strong market for the Uruguayan after rejecting approaches from clubs in Saudi Arabia during the winter window.

One of the offers, from Al-Hilal, was reported to have been worth £70 million ($93 million), and if the club can command a similar fee this summer, it could go some way to ensuring the Reds can replace Nunez with a top-class striker.



Kane, Isak or Alvarez.

Harry Kane, Alexander Isak and Julian Alvarez have all been linked with Liverpool with varying degrees of believability in recent times

Calling Kane the worst option of the trio feels wrong, considering his prolific goal-scoring record across his time at Tottenham and Bayern Munich, but his age counts against him.

At 31 years old, he is six years older than both Isak and Alvarez, so one suspects he has fewer years left at the top level than the other two players

His resale value would be considerably lower, and considering his current deal at Bayern is due to expire in 2027, he would not exactly be cheap to sign in the first place.

He is more prolific than Isak and Alvarez, of that there is no doubt, but Liverpool tends to sign players who are in their early to mid-20s and signing Kane for a big fee just wouldn't feel right.



Julian Alvarez has been linked with Liverpool

In truth, it's a toss-up between Isak and Alvarez as to who would be the better signing for Liverpool, as both men are exceptional strikers who have shown over several years that they have what it takes to lead the line for big clubs at the highest level.

Alvarez was an important player for Manchester City for two seasons, and had he had anybody other than Erling Haaland for competition, he might well have still been there as Pep Guardiola's first-choice striker
