Liverpool has work to do in the summer transfer market, but wholesale changes on the scale of what unfolded last summer are not the order of the day to improve Arne Slot's rosterArne Slot during a Liverpool press conference.(Image: John Powell/Liverpool FC via Getty Images)Having exited the Champions League at the hands of PSG this week, the season feels like it is winding down for Liverpool. Though it still needs to wrap up a top-five finish and it hasn't been the campaign many were expecting, there is still something to play for.Arne Slot's men, hopefully having safely navigated a route back into the Champions League next term, will need to go again in the summer.

There is also something of a question mark over Alexis Mac Allister.Kostas Tsimikas, Slot appeared to suggest, could be the replacement for Andy Robertson when the Scotland captain leaves and the Greek returns from AS Roma.But a new forward of some sort — amid fresh links with Anthony Gordon this week — will be needed to inject some added pace and dynamism in attack and succeed Mohamed Salah.Liverpool head coach Arne Slot during a press conference.(Image: John Powell/Liverpool FC via Getty Images)The long-term injury sustained to Hugo Ekitike complicates things, but Alexander Isak — as much as it is a cliche — could genuinely be like a new signing, given he has played so little up to now.Jeremy Jacquet has already been signed from Rennes for a fee of around $83 million (£60 million) and pinning Ibrahima Konate down to a new deal, with negotiations ongoing, would negate the need for another center-back to arrive.Like Isak, Giovanni Leoni, a summer signing from Parma last year, has barely featured, but he should not be forgotten and is a hugely promising talent.
Conor Bradley, though he won't play again this season, will return.As a result, with at least one addition in attack and a new center-back already snapped up, the other business that Liverpool needs should be largely dictated by exits.Get LFC's 2025/26 season home and away kitsThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
