Despite coming in behind against PSG in the Premier League, Arne Slot is now out of the Champions League.
Whether or not the out-of-contract players leave or not, Richard Hughes will have to step up and do something in the transfer market this summer because his team’s ability to add one player ( who has done practically nothing ) makes their seemingly serene path to glory all the more impressive.
Because actually, if you scratch beneath the first team , as proven by their display against PlymouthLiverpool arent all that. The absence of injuries, which are common among slot teams at Feyenoord and now on Merseyside, has been a major factor in their regular excellence this period.
In order to strengthen their squad further over the summer, we have assembled eight players (yes, up to eight ) to look for to upgrade. Were we guessing he has, but were not sure if Robertson ever crossed the line at any point this year and delivered a bridge. There are huge gone the time of him and Trent Alexander-Arnold vying for the role of Liverpool assist-maker.
The 30-year-olds made one aid in 38 appearances this winter despite only managing two in 30 next term. A tactical change, which included a military change under Jurgen Klopp and Slot to tickle more creativity out of the England midfield, was insufficient to explain the dramatic fall in his output. The previous five times saw him average over 11 helps.
There is a case made that Liverpool should instead send Kostas Tsimikas packing, which is a bit of a toss-up, but the Greek international is two years younger and more accustomed to watching from the bench, as he will when Antonee Robinson, Milos Kerkez, or a currently unknown replacement arrives.
Harvey Elliott
There were rumors that Borussia Dortmund and Brighton were circling in January due to Elliott’s extremely short game time under Arne Slot, who has featured for only 567 minutes across all competitions, and his 11 Premier League starts from the bench, which totaled about two hours of football.
After starting against Plymouth in the FA Cup in the first round against Accrington Stanley, Southampton in the Carabao Cup, and PSV Eindhoven in the dead-rubber,
made his fifth start of the season. He scored the success of the first-leg match against Southampton in Paris, but it was shockingly untimely for him to start in the Premier League and only played 15 hours in the Champions League return at Anfield. He might also be used as a PSR buttress this summer or as a swap holder for La Liga targets if he’s not playing. Federico Chiesa signed
in
and we called it that because we are now disgustingly arrogant about how useless a drafting Chiesa has become. Liverpool has only lost five games this year, including two against him, on only three situations. We would recommend a 51-cap Italy global who was once linked with 100m transfers may be capable enough to give the Premier League’s best player a relaxation against a side base of the Championship. The Egyptians presence might be more relevant than the summertime signings presence. What is the place of him if no? And that’s it. We find Diogo Jota
pretty odd when Salah is right there, and while he is truly awesome in front of goal, he is far too often match to have the desired impact. Although Jota has played sport for the majority of his Chelsea profession, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to see a football player do so.
In his four total Premier League conditions at Liverpool, he only started 65 games out of a possible 152, which is not to be taken seriously. Marcus Rashford, a dud at Manchester United, has 71 goals in that span.
According to reports, Slot may have become angry with Jota and will render him available for transfer. Enticing Arsenal or another man to pay 40 million for the persistently injured forward sounds like good business. Caoimhin Kelleher may be incredibly impressed by the idea of staying at Dublin and playing back-up goalkeeper, but he may be placated by the idea of a real struggle with Giorgi Mamardashvili for a starting spot rather than being the obvious choice.
Kelleher wanted to leave last summer and supposedly isnt interested in an extension to his contract which expires in 2026. Regardless of Alisson’s efficiency in Paris, it makes more sense for England to allow him to leave while the Saudi Pro League factors, who are probably still willing to pay him a lot, do so.
In the worst case, Mamardashvili would not be as good as it could be, but the little drop-off in value from Alisson to Kelleher makes that danger worthwhile, if they can convince the Republic of Ireland worldwide to be.

Joe Gomez
This is more about PSR and the players happiness than anything else. Any Premier League team would adore having Gomez on their roster, we know for sure. One of the Never Let Us Down players in existence, he is extremely versatile. However, Gomez is not interested in being that person.
He left in the summer, joining Chelsea and Newcastle among those interested, and he’ll almost certainly become a fixture in Liverpool’s season like it has been since his outstanding partnership with Virgil van Dijk in the 2019/2020 title win. The 27-year-old has had his injuries but he has also spent a lot of time on the bench and in the dressing room, and it’s interesting to think how many more of his 15 England caps he could have won if he had been playing more football.
Darwin Nunez
It’s a testament to Liverpool’s generally excellent recruitment that their club record signing can be a little pants and still be ahead at the top of the Premier League can be.
We might be having the best Premier League team ever if the 85 million they spent on a central striker had proven to be a good value for money. Darwin Nunezhas not proved to be good value for money.
Although we will always be fond of his chaos in the name of pure entertainment, we are now at a point where doubts about whether he will succeed have become near-certitude that he won’t. No Smoke Without Fire views to just one transfer rumor, or even two or three, would be absurd, but someone must have opened the window when the transfer gossip smoke becomes obscure, most likely an agent. Real Madrid, PSG, Barcelona, AC Milan, and Chelsea have all been linked to over the past year, with claims Diaz wants a sizable wage increase to stay on Merseyside that Liverpool may struggle to refute when they consider his return of 13 goals and five assists in 41 games this season.
Slot is frustrated, and we have the impression that Liverpool would accept substantial offers for the Colombian.
