Liverpool will soon look to build on winning the Premier League title and new reports have now offered encouragement to the Reds in their hunt to sign a world-renowned star.
Liverpool held by Arsenal after conceding two-goal lead
In their first home match since becoming champions, Liverpool were held by Arsenal in a 2-2 draw despite opening up a comfortable advantage courtesy of Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz. Gabriel Martinelli and Mikel Merino hit back for the visitors to steal a point, but the main talking point was supporters’ mixed reaction to Trent Alexander-Arnold’s appearance from the bench.
Coming off the back of his decision to leave his boyhood club on a free transfer, there are plenty of fans who made their frustration known despite the backdrop of a brilliant season for all involved at Liverpool. Arne Slot will be keen to banish any negativity present at Anfield, which is likely to disappear promptly in the summer once high-profile targets become public knowledge.
Real Madrid superstar Rodrygo could join the Reds to add a layer of elite quality on the right flank, illustrating a marker of FSG’s ambition to keep the club at the summit of English football for time to come.

Lyon’s Malick Fofana may arrive at Liverpool to replace Luis Diaz, offering another inkling regarding the type of profile Slot wants as part of his project once the window opens. Next term, the Reds’ divisional rivals are likely to be stronger and in a better position to compete for the Premier League crown, meaning statement additions are necessary to add shine to a squad bristling with talent.
This is something they could now achieve if all goes to plan, per recent developments.
Kevin De Bruyne tempted by Liverpool move amid conflicting reports
According to reports in Italy via Sport Witness, Kevin De Bruyne is seriously considering a proposal from Liverpool and could be tempted by the prospect of one more season in the Premier League before moving to the MLS or Saudi Arabia.
It is important to point out that there have been conflicting stories surrounding the Manchester City icon – claims of a Liverpool offer being made for the 109-cap Belgian star have previously been circulated. On the other hand, Fabrizio Romano has said that Liverpool are not in talks to sign De Bruyne.
Either way, the 33-year-old is possibly the most lucrative free agent on the market this summer after deciding to leave the Etihad Stadium – City were placing a £100m price tag on him last year amid interest from the Middle East.

In a transitional season for the Citizens, De Bruyne has struck six times and delivered eight assists. Those may not be groundbreaking numbers, but the fact he has created 55 chances in the Premier League is enough to showcase his appeal.
Despite the rivalry that exists between Liverpool and Manchester City, Slot could pull off one of the most-talked about signings over recent years if the man in question’s willingness to move to Anfield is indeed legitimate.
