Liverpool had a fantastic transfer window last summer. They have spent around £450 million and broken the British transfer record twice to sign Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak.
However, this season is surely not going according to the plans of the reigning Premier League champions. They wanted to compete in all competitions.
But they are well and truly out of the Premier League title race. They are now fighting for a place in the Champions League with Manchester United, Chelsea, and Aston Villa.
That is why the Reds have a decision to make about Arne Slot next summer. Also, they have to make sure they sign the right players.
Florian Wirtz is yet to adapt to English football, and Alexander Isak’s season has been marred by constant injuries. Also, the form of Cody Gakpo and Mohamed amplified the problems for the Reds.
As a result, they are struggling this season big time. So, they want to make things right next summer. They are already looking to sign Yan Diomande.
There were reports that the Reds had agreed on personal terms with the Ivorian. However, the truth is, the 19-year-old has not agreed on personal terms with any club.
So, Liverpool will face competition from Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich for Diomande. As a result, they are looking at alternatives for the RB Leipzig star.
Most Premier League clubs want to sign players with experience of playing in the Premier League.
That is why Liverpool have identified a Premier League star who can play as a midfielder as well as a winger. According to FotbollDirekt, Liverpool are eyeing a move for Lucas Bergvall.
The Spurs are looking for a fee of around £57 million for the Swedish star. So, he could become a concrete target for the Reds if they fail to land Yan Diomande.
🚨 According to Swedish outlet FotbollDirekt Tottenham have slapped a valuation of around 700 million Swedish kronor on Bergvall – the equivalent of roughly £57 million. Liverpool have reportedly made an inquiry about the midfielder.
