Liverpool went stale last season under Arne Slot and the club are determined to refresh the side in the off-season. Liverpool finished fifth in the Premier League under Slot's management last season, losing 19 games across all competitions in 2025/26.Whereas they had previously been dynamic and intense, they grew ponderous and predictable.
The 22-year-old has been signed on a six-year contract ahead of Newcastle, Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester United and Real Madrid and is an exciting addition.He contributed seven goals and five assists in 36 appearances for Osasuna last season after joining from Real Madrid and has the exact kind of profile Liverpool crave: he's fast, direct and versatile.While Munoz is right-footed and has generally played on the left wing, he is comfortable operating on the opposite flank or centrally. Unlike Salah, Diomande is right-footed and has been fielded on either flank by Leipzig.His ability to make the difference at the top end of the pitch is the main attraction for Liverpool after Diomande contributed 13 goals and 10 assists in 36 appearances in his debut campaign for Leipzig.The space on the right wing is completely vacant with Salah having departed after nine years at the club and Florian Wirtz more comfortable in central positions.
The Sweden international started the World Cup campaign brightly, and if he gets through pre-season without injury, he could flourish with two bright young wingers on either flank and Wirtz behind him.Here is how Liverpool could line up next season with their new arrivals on each wing and £60m January signing Jeremy Jacquet slotting in to replace Konate at centre-back.Possible Liverpool XI for 2026/27: Alisson; Frimpong, Van Dijk, Jacquet, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Wirtz; Diomande, Munoz, Isak.Join our LFC WhatsApp community and get all the latest LFC news, views, transfer gossip and more, as it happens We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
