Liverpool has a lot of business to do in the transfer market in the weeks ahead, and Andoni Iraola's squad could have a very different look to it than Arne Slot's squad(Image: Getty Images)Liverpool's transfer business got underway last week with the deal to sign Victor Munoz from Osasuna, and there will be plenty more deals to come over the next few weeks.Even with the arrival of Munoz, Liverpool is two players down on the squad that Liverpool had last season, following the departures of Ibrahima Konate, Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah. Although Munoz is a wide attacker, he is not viewed as a replacement for Salah – instead, the Reds' principal target to fill the void left by the Egyptian King is RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande - though he has instead chosen Paris Saint-Germain, opening the door for a potential move for Bradley Barcola instead.Diomande has emerged as one of the hottest young talents in world soccer over the last 12 months, but might not be heading to Anfield now, with the back-to-back European champion his preferred destination.



Instead, a move for Barcola could be more realistic for the Reds, with PSG likely needing to sell an attacker to make way for the teenage Diomande.Midfield reinforcements are also on the agenda after a disappointing season, amid the prospect of Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones leaving the club.Links with Eduardo Camavinga never seem to be far away, and that goes for Adam Wharton, too, amid the high probability that the England midfielder will be looking to move on to a bigger club this summer.As for a replacement for Robertson, that will come from within, with Kostas Tsimikas returning from his Roma loan spell to provide cover for Milos Kerkez.It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will move to replace Konate, considering the Reds already effectively have two new defenders coming in.Eduardo Camavinga has been persistently linked with a move to Liverpool(Image: © 2026 SOPA Images)Jeremy Jacquet is arriving from Rennes after Liverpool struck a deal for the young defender several months ago, while Giovanni Leoni will be like a new signing upon his return from the serious knee injury he suffered on his Anfield debut last September.If Joe Gomez stays, that would leave Liverpool with four center-backs for the new season, which would likely be enough.With a big summer of upheaval on the cards, the Reds will be grateful that it seems as though a new No. 1 goalkeeper won't be on the shopping list, as Alisson is set to stay at Liverpool for another year amid interest from Juventus.In terms of departures, Wataru Endo and Federico Chiesa could be surplus to requirements, while it has been suggested that Cody Gakpo could be eyeing a move away following Arne Slot's dismissal.Liverpool's possible 20-man matchday squadGoalkeepers: Alisson, MamardashviliDefenders: Bradley, Frimpong, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Gomez, Leoni, Kerkez, TsimikasMidfielders: Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Camavinga, Wharton, WirtzForwards: Isak, Barcola, Ngumoha, Munoz, Ekitike
