Liverpool FC NewsFeaturesTransfersLiverpool signed multiple big-name players for gargantuan fees last summer but the Reds are reportedly set to be in the market for several more big signings in the off-seasonA replacement for Mohamed Salah is on the agenda for Liverpool(Image: 2026 Getty Images)Liverpool reportedly wants to sign as many as four new players this summer in order to improve the first-team squad ahead of next season.The Reds spent a lot of money last summer – and also saw a lot of players leave – and were the favorites to win the Premier League heading into this campaign. Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak were the picks of the signings, but both men have had difficult seasons for varying reasons, while other new signings like Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez have also not had good campaigns.Renowned transfer guru David Ornstein reports that Liverpool is planning to further reinforce the squad this summer in order to prepare the club for a better season next time around.READ MORE: Liverpool on red alert as Eduardo Camavinga 'transfer listed' by Real MadridREAD MORE: PSG could be missing 3 players vs Liverpool amid Bradley Barcola update“The net spend is about £150 million ($200 million), even though last summer was really high, and I think they plan to continue investing because they see this as a developing project and squad," Ornstein told NBC Sports.“There are more signings no doubt on the way.
They feel there are three to four first-team players that are needed for them to be really competitive again.“We know that a wide player, because of Salah’s departure and also how Diaz wasn’t replaced, will also be high on the agenda.”Ornstein added that Liverpool intends to retain Arne Slot as head coach, despite many Reds fans being keen to see him replaced at the end of the season.Arne Slot is reportedly set to be kept on as head coach(Image: Getty Images)Slot won the Premier League during his first season in charge of the club, but has presided over a disappointing second season, which saw the club effectively fail with its title defense well before Christmas.Liverpool's season began weeks after the tragic death of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, and Ornstein suggested that Liverpool's owners believe the circumstances that Slot has had to contend with this season is a reason why he is likely to be given another season to try and turn things around at Anfield.“The intention of the club and Fenway Sports Group is to stick with Arne Slot into next season and give him longer," Ornstein said.“He’s on a contract until 2027. I think they feel there are clear mitigations."The transition work was always going to be huge after Jurgen Klopp’s departure and the transfer windows across the course of all of Slot’s windows is four now.”Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCTransfers
