Liverpool are gearing up for what might be their most historic summer transfer window ever.
Moreover, the Reds plan to invest heavily with ambitions to secure a £200m double signing. In addition, the club aims to strengthen several key areas to compete at the highest level.
Furthermore, Liverpool are in advanced talks for contract extensions with three key players. Mo Salah may leave, while Virgil Van Dijk is expected to extend his stay. Additionally, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future remains uncertain, with a 50/50 chance of joining Real Madrid.
In recent transfer windows, Liverpool have kept their activity to a minimum. They only signed Federico Chiesa since Arne Slot took charge. Moreover, goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is set to join in the summer.
Meanwhile, the future of several out-of-contract players remains unclear. Even if Van Dijk stays, Liverpool will prioritize a new centre-back. Consequently, they have eyed Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen, a promising 19-year-old with a £50m release clause. However, Chelsea also compete for his signature.
Additionally, Liverpool are scouting for a new prolific striker. They have set their sights on Alexander Isak. Moreover, the on-fire Newcastle striker would be open to a move. If Newcastle fail to qualify for the Champions League, his desire to play at the highest level will intensify. Therefore, Liverpool might need to bid north of £120m, possibly reaching £150m.

Moreover, Liverpool plan to bolster other key areas. They are targeting defensive midfielders, left-backs, and a new winger. In addition, a new right-back might be needed if Alexander-Arnold moves to Real Madrid. Meanwhile, FSG owners led by John W. Henry are prepared to sanction a huge spend.
Notably, Liverpool are not alone in planning a massive summer. Arsenal also have ambitious aims. They are pursuing a defensive midfielder with Martin Zubimendi talks and are interested in a striker. Additionally, Arsenal admire Isak and have considered RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. Meanwhile, Man City and Manchester United are preparing their own substantial moves, with Pep Guardiola and manager Ruben Amorim at the helm.
Finally, Everton face their own overhaul after a takeover by The Friedkin Group. They have eight players set to be out of contract this summer. Consequently, the club plans to reinvest in an exciting squad rebuild. As a result, this summer transfer window could see a record-breaking spend across English clubs, making the market absolutely electric.
