Liverpool are set for many changes this summer with Arne Slot looking to revamp his squad.
Indeed, Slot looks set to welcome Florian Wirtz to Merseyside over the next week or so, and while the addition of the young German is a major statement of intent, other areas within the squad need attention.

This is why it isn’t much of a surprise to see the rumour mill going into overdrive with new players being linked almost every day.
Over the last few years, Benfica have produced some world-class talent such as Joao Felix and Darwin Nunez, both of whom earned themselves mega-money moves.
With this in mind, a new report from Portuguese outlet A Bola has emerged with the Reds now being linked with a move for Tomas Araujo.
The centre-back has been previously compared to Spanish legend Gerard Pique, with the report outlining that Liverpool are ‘looking for a centre-back’ after missing out on Dean Huijsen, who chose to move to Real Madrid.

With Ibrahima Konate’s Anfield future still up in the air and Jarell Quansah getting linked with moves away, there’s no knowing how different Liverpool’s defensive line could look by the start of the 2025-26 season.
However, with Quansah getting linked with the Bundesliga and Joe Gomez also being linked with a move away, many changes could be afoot.
Indeed, only time will tell what the future holds, but if Liverpool don’t sign a new centre-back this summer, they could find themselves in a spot of bother.
