First season for Arne Slot at Liverpool went better than expected. But, the UCL exit made it clear to him that the squad needs upgrades for next year.
Champions League Setback Sparks Transfer Push
Arne Slot had every reason to be proud after he led Liverpool to a Premier League title. Still, one bump in the road, the Champions League loss to Paris Saint Germain, has obviously stuck with him. Although, the Reds won their group, getting PSG so early in the knock-out phase proved unfortunate.
Slot believes the timing was unlucky. He’s also questioned whether he could have rotated the squad more before that crucial match in March. Maintaining top performance in the league left little room for changes. But, the setback made it clear. Dominating in England isn’t enough to go all the way in Europe.
Now, the head coach is already planning ways to add more firepower to his squad. He is aiming to improve their depth and strength for next season’s challenges.
Arne Slot Eyes New Firepower for Next Season’s Battle
Speaking ahead of the summer transfer window, the manager didn’t hide his intentions. He made it clear that Liverpool need more options. While he remains happy with the players at his disposal, the Dutchman admitted that transfers are a major part of his summer strategy. He knows the Reds will face even fiercer competition next year.
Rumours of Jeremie Frimpong’s €30 million move and interest in Florian Wirtz show the Reds aren’t sitting still. Though Slot kept quiet about specific targets, the message is very clear. He wants reinforcements. His aim is to turn a strong domestic squad into one that can also conquer Europe.
The painful PSG lesson may just be the spark needed to shape Liverpool into a complete team. Next term they’ll be ready to go all the way on all fronts.
