Predicted Liverpool Squad for the 2025-26 Season

Looking ahead to Liverpool's 2025-26 season, the squad under manager Arne Slot is expected to evolve with notable new additions and potentially significant changes, particularly in defense and attacking options.

Goalkeepers

Alisson Becker remains the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper, continuing to be a vital presence for Liverpool. The club may share playing time with the Georgian shot-stopper Giorgi Mamardashvilli, who arrived to provide competition and depth.

Defenders

At right-back, young Jeremie Frimpong is expected to bring energy and creativity, competing for minutes with academy graduate Conor Bradley. On the left side, Milos Kerkez, a recent signing from Bournemouth, will add depth alongside Andy Robertson, who is expected to stay for his final contract year. Kostas Tsimikas may move on due to limited opportunities.

Central defense currently has three primary options: Virgil van Dijk as a guaranteed starter, with either Ibrahima Konate (if he stays) or Joe Gomez partnering him. Konate’s future is uncertain, with potential transfer rumors and his contract running down. Liverpool is also reportedly pursuing a highly-rated defender from elsewhere to bolster options.

Midfield and Attack

Arne Slot’s team is likely to maintain a 4-2-3-1 formation, aiming to blend experience with youthful dynamism. Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker continue to be key figures at their respective positions. The squad’s depth allows for rotation, with players like Luis Díaz and emerging talents competing for attacking roles.

Squad Depth and Future Prospects

Liverpool's bench is expected to be strong, with versatile players and promising youngsters who can deputize and maintain squad competitiveness across competitions. The evolving team structure under Slot shows a mixture of continuity and calculated change, balancing stability with fresh talent.

This forecasted roster reflects Liverpool’s intent to remain competitive domestically and in Europe, while managing player contracts and integrating new signings effectively.
