Liverpool could be set for a busy summer transfer window, with Newcastle United's Alexander Isak being linked with a move to Merseyside at the end of the season.

Despite being top of the Premier League, there's still room for improvement in the Liverpool squad, and with the futures of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold all uncertain, a big rebuild could be on the cards for the Reds this summer.

To complete this simulation, we used Football Manager 2024 to sign Isak from Newcastle, with the Reds breaking the Premier League transfer record to sign the Swedish International.

Darwin Nunez, Wataru Endo and Joe Gomez also left on permanent deals, while Jeremie Frimpong, Adam Wharton, and Dani Vivian all signed for Slot's side as well.

On his arrival, Isak instantly became the Reds' new starting striker, with Jota playing second string to the 25-year-old, he kicked the ground off running as well, grabbing a hat-trick on his debut in a 4-0 win over West Ham United in the Premier League.

At the end of the season, Isak ended the campaign as the Reds' top scorer across all competitions, scoring 31 goals in 43 appearances.

24 of those came in the Premier League, with the striker just missing out on the Golden Boot to Erling Haaland (26).

At the end of the 2025/26 season, Football Manager 2024 put together an overall best Liverpool XI, based on performances, statistics, and other metrics.

New signing Wharton couldn't make the best XI ahead of Alexis Mac Allister or Ryan Gravenberch, but Frimpong did as the Dutchman impressed in his first season at the club.

With Isak leading the line, Liverpool were one of the most dangerous sides in the Premier League, with the Reds winning 28 of their 38 league games in what was an impressive campaign.

But, Manchester City were also back to their best, with Pep Guardiola's side pipping the Reds to the title.
