Liverpool are set to make a number of new signings this summer, and thus, the Reds might have to be creative with who they choose to target.
Transfer fees for top players have never been higher, with rumoured Liverpool target Alexander Isak believed to be worth as much as £150m heading into the summer window, a fee that the Anfield side are unlikely to pay.
With Liverpool looking at five positions to strengthen, it would be wise to suggest that some deals Arne Slot’s team pull off will come as surprises to supporters, who are unlikely to see every new addition being a world-class name.
And Liverpool have already been offered a chance to sign an under-the-radar attacker by one of the most powerful agents in football.

According to FootballTransfers, Liverpool are one of the many top clubs in Europe that have been approached by super-agent Rafaela Pimenta to sign Schalke 04 striker Moussa Sylla, who is set for a move this summer.
As per the report, the Mali international has been ‘very impressive’ in the 2.
Bundesliga this season, with Sylla hitting 13 goals in 19 appearances for Schalke before picking up an injury in February that has ruled the attacker out since.
With Schalke in need of selling players, though, offloading the 25-year-old attacker whilst his value is at its highest seems to be a wise play from the historic German side, with Liverpool one of the teams offered the chance to sign Sylla.

Indeed, the Reds are in the market for a new attacker with Darwin Nunez expected to leave Liverpool this summer, yet whilst Sylla’s record has been good this season, the Anfield side would likely want someone with more top-flight experience compared to the Schalke star.
Liverpool’s squad overhaul this summer will be something supporters have not seen from the Reds for quite some time, with every position set to see major changes heading into Slot’s second year in charge on Merseyside.
Yet if there’s one position this summer than needs a world-class addition, the striker role would tick that box, with Liverpool in need of an attacker who can lead from the front and offer a new goal threat that isn’t named Mohamed Salah.
As a result, a player like Sylla should not even be considered by Liverpool, even with the Mali international enjoying a good season with one of the best-supported clubs in all of Germany.
