Indeed, there are still a couple of areas within their squad that could still do with strengthening, but on paper, Arne Slot’s men look ready to retain the title.

One of the main areas that could do with bolstering still is their strikeforce, with a player compared to Kylian Mbappe now potentially available for a cut-rate price.

As mentioned, a new striker is likely to be high on Slot’s list of priorities this summer.

Numerous strikers such as Viktor Gyokeres have been linked with an Anfield switch this season, but one name which hasn’t been mentioned is Georges Mikautadze.

The Georgian striker is only 24 years old, and he still managed to contribute to 28 goals in the 2024-25 season.

The fee to sign a striker of this quality would usually be extortionate, but with Lyon now being relegated to Ligue 2 due to their financial problems, a lot of their star players, such as Mikautadze and Malick Fofana, could be available for cut-rate fees.

Despite the fact that the striker is 24, he’s also Georgian, which would mean that he’d have a friend at Anfield in Giorgi Mamardashvili.

Since then, Mikautadze has blossomed into an even more clinical striker, with the Georgian often outplaying both Fofana and Rayan Cherki when called upon.

Of course, this is all just speculation at the moment, but with the way things seem to be headed at Lyon, the Reds will never have a better chance of bagging themselves a clinical striker for a potentially minimal fee.
