The ownership of Liverpool are highly likely to offer Arne Slot a significant financial backing for this summer.
Liverpool Set to Back Arne Slot With Major Summer Budget
Liverpool’s board is said to be prepared to give new manager Arne Slot the necessary cash for the transfer market ahead of 2025-26 when they will hope to defend their Premier League title. They secured their second Premier League title with a 5-1 victory against Tottenham.
The Fenway Sports Group is said to have pledged big financial backing for Slot’s first full season in charge. Despite the club’s strong campaign, the squad isn’t without its weaknesses.
Slot is likely to target three key signings this June. A new striker, a left-back, and a centre-back are now a top priority. There’s also talk of bringing in a midfielder to add depth.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah is still doing what he does best. He has 28 goals and 18 assists so far this campaign. The Reds have leaned heavily on him. But with the Egyptian is turning 33 before next season kicks off. So, a long-term plan is a must.
Fresh Faces Expected at Anfield in Key Positions
Transfer targets are already starting to rise. Additionally, the Merseyside club is linked to Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike. The young forward’s movement and link-up play could be the creative spark their front line needs.
On the left flank, Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is on the Reds’ radar as a possible successor to Robertson. The Scottish left-back is now 31 years old. That makes him less impactful than before. Meanwhile, Kerkez’s energy and defensive resilience would be the perfect combination.
Also, Ibrahima Konaté will decide on his future in the coming days. His contract begins its final year. Therefore, if a new deal is not concluded soon, the Reds may wish to cash in. Slot is believed to be eying Kerkez’s Bournemouth teammate Dean Huijsen as potential competition. Meanwhile, Huijsen, at just 20 years old, has looked promising with his composure on the ball defensively.
The PL champions are likely to have a busy summer with money available. After winning the title, they will want to build a squad that can dominate for the next several years.
