They will never walk alone. But they may not walk for a very long time with the Liverpool jersey on their shoulders. Them ? These are the 12 players whose future is uncertain on the banks of the Mersey. As explained yesterday on our site, even before the capital meeting against Paris Saint-Germain in the 1/8th finals of the Champions League, several elements of the Arne Slot group are potentially on departure. At the top of the list, we find Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil Van Dijk. Three tauliers at the end of the contract on June 30. And at present, neither has extended. The Egyptian, which is rather for, melted in tears last night after elimination in C1. For some observers, it was a sign that it was his last appearance with the LFC in UEFA Champions League. Taa, who is close to Real Madrid, did not take care of his release since he left the ground following an injury.
VVD, a glimpse of chatting with Luis Campos and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi in the corridors of Anfield, threw a cold concerning his future in Liverpool. “No idea at the moment, still no idea. You can continue to try (to ask me), I don't know. If a contract is pending? There is nothing in suspense, I don't even know myself, I continue to say the same thing. ” Like him, Vlazslav Jaros, Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa, Caoimhin Kelleher, Wataru Endo and Diogo Jota, who was struggling against PSG, are potentially on the start. In any case, they will not be retained by management. Ditto for Darwin Nuñez, who was appointed as one of the culprits of elimination last night. The Reds would not be against selling it in Saudi Arabia, where he has admirers. Finally, Ibrahima Konaté and Luis Diaz, who are courted by great Europe, wonder about their future.
A defense under construction
In uncertainty for a dozen players, Liverpool intends to carry out a hell of lifting during the next transfer window. Arne Slot, who was able to take over from Jürgen Klopp, wants new blood. He believes that his team is missing something missing. He deplores in particular the fact that too many matches have played on the wire, explains the Liverpool Echowho thinks that “The Slot team may have reached its peak too early”. English publication specifies that “For a team that is 15 points ahead of the Premier League, Liverpool won only 9 of his 46 matches in all competitions combined by a margin greater than two goals.” For this reason, he wants players capable of bringing this more side “ruthless“To his team. Thus, the English team wants to strengthen itself in several positions this summer.
First of all, the LFC is looking for a central defender. The idea is in particular to rejuvenate the team, knowing that the VVD case is not yet sealed. So, Bild reveals that the Mersey club is already looking for its successor. And it is on the side of Germany, more precisely in Borussia Dortmund, that the leaders look. The profile of Nico Schlotterbeck (25) likes them very much. At the end of the contract in June 2026, the German, which is potentially on departure, should be the subject of an offer of almost 50 M €. Another targeted player: Jorrel Hato (18). THE Telegraaf Recently revealed that the REDs court the Ajax defender under contract until 2028, which is also followed by Real Madrid. This versatile element is valued at € 30 million for the moment. Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth) is also in the short-list. For him, you will have to drop € 60 million.
The Reds want a big striker and find the TAA successor
For the left -back post, Liverpool thinks of Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth). Its price is estimated at € 50 million. In the event of arrival, the club will separate from Andy Robertson or Kostas Tsimikas. It will be necessary to activate to strengthen yourself as a right side, where Liverpool finds himself helpless in the absence of Alexander-Arnold. His possible departure is one more reason to recruit this position according to Slot, which is short of options with the injuries of Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez according to the THE. Putting your hand on an attacker will also be one of Liverpool's priorities. The Reds have been unhappy with Diogo Jota, who has not marked C1 since October 2021. His decline level and his numerous physical seeds do not argue for him either. Same story for Darwin Nuñez, who does not meet expectations. THE Liverpool Echo Indicates that the English think that it takes a new number 9 to pass an additional course.
All eyes turn to Alexander Isak. Sparkling in Newcastle, the Swedish hit the eye of the Reds. But it will be necessary to blow up the bank to attach its services since the Magpies set an XXL price for him, namely around 200 M € according to The Sun. A less expensive solution could be envisaged. As revealed on our site, the profile of the French Hugo Ekitike, in good shape at the Eintracht Frankfurt, appeals internally. For him, the Germans await at least € 80 million. Another track followed: the one leading to Ademola Lookman. In conflict with Gian Piero Gasperini at Atalanta, the player has been in contact with the Reds for a few weeks. The DEA has set its price at € 60 million. Liverpool, which already explores 8 tracks whose cumulative prices reach € 530 million, may speed up very quickly to offer Arne Slot the best possible team.
