It's fair to say Arne Slot's project is the most attractive destination for possible recruits heading into summer transfer window.

Not just for the way they have cruised to a 20th English league title ahead of pre-season favourites Arsenal and Manchester City, but also the incredible celebrations that unfolded after their champions status was confirmed.

Arne Slot, having only made on addition to the group he inherited last summer, still hasn't unlocked a dream Liverpool squad capable of reaching their highest potential.



Vitezslav Jaros, another product of the academy, could remain at the club as third choice.

Defenders

Watching those title celebrations inside Anfield on Sunday, thousands have probably pondered the question, 'as a boyhood Red living the dream and a two-time Premier League champion, why on earth would you want to leave this behind?' That train of thought, of course, applies to Trent Alexander-Arnold whose Liverpool contract is exactly two months away from expiring as of today.

As the situation goes at the moment, we have to take it at face value - it has looked increasingly likely as the season has gone on that this will be the end of the road and Real Madrid will swoop to sign the 26-year-old as a free agent.

If the Reds are to regrettably lose their vice-captain, they will require extra depth at right-back, in addition to Conor Bradley, who isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Any chance of a reunion was seemingly dashed when a transfer to RB Leipzig was complete last summer, though that may not be a barrier if interest arises this summer.

With Geertruida, Liverpool would gain vast experience at club and international level, a born leader and a man that knows how to play the Slot way.

In central defence, a weight has been lifted heading into the summer transfer window - Virgil van Dijk has signed for two more years.

Andy Robertson can share the burden and pass on his vast wisdom in the final year of his contract whilst Kostas Tsimikas should be allowed to move on to find regular playing time elsewhere.

Midfielders

With the vast majority of money recently spent by Liverpool going into the midfield, there is maybe a lesser need to bolster this area of the squad than others, however last year's failed attempt to sign Martin Zubimendi proves that the club were at least looking at adding defensive depth.

If this is to be completed this summer, they already have the Spaniard's answer - there is no going back.

On the surface there would appear no incentive to part ways, though if the opportunity to land Rodrygo - a player once high on Liverpool's agenda when he was only a teenager - arrives then maybe there is justification for the Italian's sale and replacement with the Brazilian ace.

Final dream 2025/26 squad

In summary, Liverpool can lose Alexander-Arnold plus plus Kelleher, Gomez, Tsimikas, Morton and Nunez while adding Mamardashvili, Geertruida, Huijsen, Kerkez, Wharton, Rogers, Rodrygo and Ekitike to create their dream squad to retain the Premier League title in 2025/26, and attempt to collect other silverware along the way.

Here is how that final 25-man squad would look: Alisson, Mamardashvili, Jaros; Geertruida, Bradley, Van Dijk, Konate, Quansah, Huijsen, Kerkez, Robertson; Gravenberch, Endo, Mac Allister, Wharton, Szoboszlai, Jones, Elliott, Rogers; Salah, Rodrygo, Ekitike, Jota, Gakpo, Diaz.
