Liverpool will be looking for a long-term successor to Mo Salah this summer(Image: Getty Images)

Liverpool are already Premier League champions and have little left to play for now as they prepare to play the final three matches of the season.

It's been an incredible campaign for Arne Slot's men having clinched the title with four games to spare and now they can enjoy a relaxed end to the season.

The Reds were beaten 3-1 by Chelsea on the weekend and there is a feeling that the team are already casting their eye towards the 2025-26 season as they look to built on their success.

Liverpool were bolstered by Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk committing their short term futures to the club, but after Trent Alexander-Arnold revealed he would be quitting Anfield this summer, there are still a number of decisions to be made in the transfer market.

In addition to finding Alexander-Arnold's successor, Liverpool may also want to find a long-term replacement for Van Dijk, while also strengthening at left-back and up front.

Mirror Football has taken a look at all the latest Liverpool transfer stories, gossip and rumours in the build up to the summer window.

Just like with Van Dijk - Liverpool know they will eventually have to find a long-term successor to Salah in attack, despite the Egyptian signing a new two-year deal.

That player could be Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo after his impressive season led to him scoring 18 goals and providing six assists in the Premier League this term, showing he can deliver at the highest level.

Mbeumo is only 25 so he is a good bet for the future, while Salah is 32.

The Cameroonian has been heavily linked with an exit from the club this summer and speculation has only grown after his team-mate said he was likely to depart.

Christian Norgaard was speaking about Mbeumo during an interview and admitted the Bees may have to start planning for life without him - which should come as a boost for Liverpool if they wish to sign the forward.

"I think Bryan is likely to go,” Norgaard told Sky Sports.

I think the club is so talented in recruiting and always being two or three steps ahead."

Another area Liverpool will be targeting this summer is left-back after watching the declining performances of Andy Robertson, who appears to have lost his place in the team at Anfield.

Kostas Tsimikas has been preferred at left-back by Slot of late and the Dutchman may look to find a stronger contender for next season.

If some player leaves because someone comes with what the club considers to be a good offer, we have to be ready for those situations, but not with fear."

The writing is on the wall for Alexander-Arnold after confirming he will leave Anfield after joining the club as a six-year-old, though his move to Real Madrid is yet to be rubber-stamped.

The right-back's move to the Spanish capital is seen as a formality and Madrid are even hoping to sign him before the end of his contract next month so he can compete in the Club World Cup this summer.

Alexander-Arnold has won virtually every trophy available to him at Liverpool and will now be looking ahead to a new chapter, though he has been warned that he won't be an automatic starter at the Spanish club by former Madrid star Alvaro Benito.
