The 2025-26 Liverpool squad is being widely regarded as exceptionally strong and deep, with significant summer investments following their previous Premier League title win. Despite no major signings last summer, Liverpool came out dominant, and this season they have assembled an even more formidable team.
In goal, Alisson remains one of the world’s top keepers, and Liverpool have bolstered their depth by signing promising young goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, ensuring continued strength even if Alisson is unavailable.
Defensively, the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid concerned fans, but Liverpool appear well-prepared with young Connor Bradley expected to start as right-back, complemented by reinforcements such as Milos Kirk as backup for the left-back position. Andrew Robertson remains a key asset while Curtis Jones’s versatility and homegrown status are invaluable to the squad. Calvin Ramsay, hindered by injuries in previous seasons, may need loan opportunities to regain form.
The mid-season signing of Florian Wirtz has been a major boost. The German midfielder, acquired for a British record fee, brings creativity and goal-scoring threat needed to replace Alexander-Arnold’s influence. Wirtz’s arrival has raised optimism about Liverpool’s chances to defend their title again, with pundits and neutrals sharing high expectations alongside supporters.
Liverpool's depth also suggests tactical flexibility; Curtis Jones could even deputize at right-back if required, linking well with forwards like Mohamed Salah. The squad’s blend of established stars, rising talent, and strategic back-ups makes them a strong contender domestically and in Europe.
Overall, the squad assessment highlights Liverpool’s ambition to maintain dominance through smart recruitment and internal development, creating a balanced, competitive team ready for the challenges of the 2025-26 season.
