Liverpool Squad Analysis: Quadruple Bid for 2025/26

Liverpool's squad is undergoing significant changes ahead of the 2025/26 season as manager Arne Slot aims for a quadruple bid, adapting to departures and new arrivals to maintain competitiveness across all competitions.

Goalkeepers

Alisson Becker remains the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper, with Giorgi Mamardashvili joining as his primary backup following Kelleher's exit. Additional reinforcements include Freddie Woodman and Armin Pecsi, providing reliable depth.

Defensive Line

The defensive reshuffle is notable at full-back positions. On the right, Jeremie Frimpong replaces Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is expected to rotate with Conor Bradley. The left-back spots are crowded with Milos Kerkez newly signed, complementing Andy Robertson, who has dispelled transfer rumors. This likely spells departure for Kostas Tsimikas.

Centre-back depth is a concern, with only Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Ibrahima Konate (contingent on his stay) as senior options. The potential signing of Marc Guehi is being pursued to address this shortage, along with hopes pinned on academy talents like Quansah. Meanwhile, loanees Calvin Ramsay and Rhys Williams seem unlikely to feature regularly and may exit or be loaned out again.

Squad Depth and Tactical Outlook

The squad's enhancement across all lines is evident. The full-backs' increased pace and quality promise more dynamic wing play, potentially benefiting strikers like the newly signed Ekitike and possibly Isak. Improved defensive solidity is expected from Frimpong and Kerkez compared to their predecessors.

Rotation capabilities are substantially improved, keeping players fresh in a congested schedule targeting multiple trophies. Goalkeeper Mamardashvili offers a high-caliber backup option billed as a world-class successor with the right development.

Summary

Liverpool are preparing a squad that blends experience with emerging talents and key signings, addressing previous vulnerabilities, particularly in defense. The transfer activities and tactical reinforcements have strengthened the squad’s capacity to challenge for the Premier League, domestic cups, and European titles simultaneously.
