Arne Slot has moulded them into a title-winning side this campaign, and two of the three key men who were at risk of running down their contracts - Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk - have now committed their futures to Anfield.

Trent Alexander-Arnold may be off to Real Madrid, but the Reds have cash to burn and confidence in their manager ahead of what promises to be a busy summer transfer window.

Here, Express Sport takes you through what Liverpool's XI could look like by the start of 2025/26...



Liverpool's dream XI next season (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Alisson

There is a huge amount of uncertainty around what Liverpool's goalkeeper ranks will look like come the start of next season.

1 regardless of who plays back-up.

Defence: Frimpong, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez

Both full-back positions are set for major surgery this summer.

The Reds hold an interest in Kerkez's Cherries team-mate Dean Huijsen too, but Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are still a top-class centre-back partnership.

Defensive midfield: Gravenberch, Mac Allister

The saying goes that if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with Liverpool's defensive midfield pairing.

Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister have both been top class this season, and there is zero chance of either one being replaced in the summer.

Attacking midfield: Salah, Szoboszlai, Gordon

Salah and Szoboszlai are also set to retain their places in the side - Salah due to his immense output in terms of goals and assists, and Szoboszlai due to the tremendous energy he brings high up the pitch.

Work could be done on the left, however.

He has scored 14 Bundesliga goals and laid on five assists this term, and although he is no bargain at £86m, the 22-year-old does fall within Liverpool's price range.
