This came off the back of a very quiet summer where Liverpool only added Federico Chiesa to their squad, but the Premier League leaders are likely to make up for that ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

In hindsight, this has worked out as it has allowed Slot a full season to evaluate his squad and Liverpool now know exactly what signings need to be made.

The number six was an area of interest for Slot last summer and it looks like the Dutch coach could add to the position by bringing a Premier League star to Merseyside.

The Premier League leaders would have been interested in the Spaniard again but Zubimendi will be joining Arsenal for the 2025/26 season after a deal was agreed in January.

Gravenberch has surprised many Liverpool fans this season as the Dutch star has been one of the Reds’ best players after a very underwhelming first campaign at Anfield.

The 22-year-old has made the number six position his own and his emergence has saved the Merseyside club millions as the Premier League leaders don’t need to sign a proven star for the number six role anymore.

Baleba looks like a great player and given his age, the 21-year-old will very likely go on to achieve even bigger things.

However, Gravenberch looks like he could be Liverpool’s number six for years, therefore, it would be nonsensical for the Reds to spend big money on a player that will only be used for rotation purposes.
