As Liverpool prepare to defend their Premier League title, the club faces a pivotal summer transfer window defined by high-profile departures, contract standoffs, and strategic reinforcements.

With Arne Slot’s side on the brink of securing the league crown, attention has shifted to reshaping a squad that could undergo its most significant overhaul since Jürgen Klopp’s 2023 midfield rebuild.

Darwin Nunez’s Anfield departure appears imminent, with Fabrizio Romano declaring the Uruguayan striker’s exit “expected” after a season of diminished influence.

Luis Diaz’s future is also a point of contention as Saudi Pro League clubs, notably Al-Nassr, circle the Colombian winger.

Despite contributing 14 goals and eight assists this season, Díaz’s £55,000 weekly wage—far below Liverpool’s top earners—makes him susceptible to lucrative offers.

But plenty of more fringe players could yet depart Anfield, with Bournemouth keen on a trio of Liverpool players.

Lewis Steele of the Daily Mail has reported that the Cherries could plot an ambitious triple raid on Liverpool this summer, with the Cherries identifying Caoimhin Kelleher, Harvey Elliott, and winger Ben Doak as key targets to bolster their squad next season – a squad that could be competing in Europe next season.

Bournemouth’s interest in Caoimhin Kelleher stems from their uncertain goalkeeping situation.

Kepa Arrizabalaga’s loan from Chelsea expires this summer, and the Spaniard’s £150,000 weekly wage makes a permanent deal unlikely?

Kelleher, 25, has publicly expressed his desire for regular first-team football after making just 12 appearances this season behind Alisson.

Liverpool’s impending signing of Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili (£25 million) further marginalizes Kelleher.

Harvey Elliott’s stalled development at Liverpool has alerted Bournemouth, who view the 21-year-old as a creative solution for their midfield.

Despite recovering from a September foot fracture, Elliott has yet to start a league game under Arne Slot, managing only 11 substitute appearances.

Meanwhile, Ben Doak’s electric but injury-disrupted loan at Middlesbrough (3 goals, 7 assists in 24 Championship games) has convinced Bournemouth to gamble on the 19-year-old Scot.

While it would strange to see three Liverpool players all move to the same club this summer, it’s fair to say that the Cherries will try and at least make one or two work.

What’s certain is that Bournemouth’s ambition signals their intent to shed the survival specialists tag and establish themselves as a household Premier League name.
