Despite spending £450m in the 2025 summer transfer window, this season has shown there are still a number of problem areas in Liverpool’s squad.Depth has been a serious issue for Arne Slot this term, while the Reds will also need to replace a number of outgoing players, including Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson.However, in an interview with Sky Sports this week, the Dutchman appears to have hinted that only ‘one or two’ new additions will be arriving at Anfield once the 2026 summer transfer window kicks off in June. FSG would be crazy to keep Arne Slot if Liverpool lose to Brentford… right?

It’s also definitely about evolving the ones we brought in last season and the ones we already have longer.“And I think there’s a lot to be won for us to win in things we can improve compared to this season.

And one of the things, of course, is having players available. But the second thing, we have to do better defensively and offensively.“And hopefully signing one or two players can even accelerate that evolution.”Every position Liverpool actually need to strengthenWhether that is an accurate figure from Slot remains to be seen, but most fans likely agree Liverpool need more than just two new players this summer.With Federico Chiesa potentially leaving along with Salah, at least two new wingers should be looked at.A pacey wide player who can operate on the left is a must, unless Cody Gakpo spends another season as the first choice.Elsewhere, it seems obvious that a proper defensive-minded midfielder needs to come in.If Alisson Becker leaves, a new goalkeeper could be targeted as well, while left and right-backs should be looked at, given that Robertson is leaving and Slot has had to use midfielders out of position on the right of the back four for most of this season.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
