Liverpool are bracing for a busy summer to build on this season’s Premier League title success.

Arne Slot orchestrated a stunning debut campaign at Anfield, inheriting a stacked squad from Jurgen Klopp before taking English football by storm to seal a record-equally 20th top-flight crown for the club.

Mohamed Salah was the posterboy of Slot’s title winners, with an eye-watering 46 goal contributions in 37 games taking the Reds out of reach at the top of the table.

However, it was in midfield where Liverpool surprised most, with Slot refining a midfield trio brought in by his predecessor and making each one of them an invaluable entity.

His transformation of Ryan Gravenberch from a promising yet raw talent to a world-class defensive midfielder was most astounding, with the 23-year-old starting all 34 league games before Liverpool sealed the title against Spurs.

Slot has already proven that he doesn’t require overwhelming transfer activity to be successful.

That was Georgian stopper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will feel like a new signing this summer after spending the season back at Valencia, the club he was signed from for £25m.

The other incoming from last summer, meanwhile, played little to no part in Slot’s title triumph.

Federico Chiesa, once Italy’s Euro 2021 sensation, has played a total of just 104 minutes in the Premier League this term and could yet be cut loose a year on from signing.

The summer months of 2024 hardly shaped the season that followed for Liverpool.

But with Trent Alexander-Arnold heading for the exit and a Premier League title to defend, Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards are expected to engage in a substantial recruitment drive over the coming months.

Here’s everything you need to know about Liverpool’s summer transfer plans.

Areas to improve

As tends to happen with champions, Liverpool are position-for-position the strongest team in the Premier League.

The marauding defender fits Slot’s system well and could be valued at £45m.
