Liverpool are on a losing streak in the Premier League and nobody cares because Arne Slot’s side are the Champions and the transfer season is already in full swing for the Reds.
When Trent Alexander-Arnold officially broke the news that he has chosen to join Real Madrid over signing a record-breaking contract at Anfield, the mood switched from triumph and celebration to anger and disappointment,
However, barely over two weeks later and Liverpool are on the verge of signing his replacement with Jeremie Frimpong very, very close to completing a move to Anfield.
Alexander-Arnold hasn’t even left the club and the Reds have got their man in the door to replace him.
However, the buck doesn’t stop there with Liverpool now pushing to sign Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez to come in at left-back while Frimpong’s mate, Florian Wirtz, is Slot’s dream target this summer.
Liverpool “in full swing” as Arne Slot lines up five signings after meeting Florian Wirtz’s parents
According to Sky Sports Germany, Liverpool are set for a busy summer transfer window and signing Jeremie Frimpong will be just the beginning for the Premier League champions.
In addition to signing Frimpong at right back, Slot still wants to add another left-back and centre-back to further reinforce the backline after a very shaky defensive season.
Liverpool may have one the Premier League but conceding 40 goals in the league alone highlights how important Mo Salah’s goals and assists were this term.
Further afield, Liverpool are also after a playmaker/No.10 and a winger with Florian Wirtz the priority target in the middle of the pitch. The German has 16 goals and 15 assists for Bayer Leverkusen and could take the Reds’ attack into the stratosphere.
Latest on Florian Wirtz to Liverpool
Fabrizio Romano has provided an in-depth analysis of the Wirtz transfer situation.
He said on his YouTube channel: “They met with the parents of the player, they presented the project, they would be prepared to pay a very important transfer fee, they presented a very ambitious plan for the future, so Liverpool wanted to position themselves on this one.
“Trying, doing their very best, then if the player decides to go to England, Liverpool are ready.
“Otherwise, if he goes to Bayern, Liverpool will have no regrets because they did their very best.
“At the moment, he has made no decision. I am also told that Manchester City probably wanted Florian Wirtz to be faster with his decision. Man City didn’t want to wait too long. Liverpool, for example are willing to accept the player’s time so let’s see what happens in terms of timing.”
