Liverpool have wasted no time in getting down to business following the conclusion of the season.

The Reds lifted the Premier League trophy at Anfield on Sunday, went on a city-wide parade on Monday and are now busy around the negotiating table, with sporting director Richard Hughes coming to the fore.

"I think this is the most important phase of the season to get the squad that you want as a club – and that’s something we are trying now," Arne Slot told Match of the Day after the end of the campaign.

“And the work, not as much from me, but especially from Richard Hughes, our sporting director, started a long way back and now we’re trying to get what we want.

Liverpool have made their official first bid to sign Wirtz from Leverkusen, beginning negotiations at around €100million (£85m) plus add-ons, but their efforts could end up having an unwanted knock-on effect.

Wirtz had been courted by Bayern Munich, who had initially been confident the 22-year-old attacking midfielder would choose to stay in the Bundesliga this summer.

It is understood that Slot does not want to lose Gakpo this summer, but Liverpool could be tempted by a huge bid for the Netherlands international.
