Liverpool may have won the Premier League title last season. ArneSlot and sports director Richard Hughes are showing no signs of slowing down in the transfer market as they are preparing to defend the crown next season and push it deep into Europe.
According to Fitches, Liverpool is preparing an ambitious move to sign Barcelona duo Fermin Lopez and Andreas Christensen, showing their intention to continue to evolve their team despite their success last season.
The report claims that Liverpool is ready to lead a double offer of 100 million euros to La Liga Giants to the table, with 80 million euros allotment for Lopez and an additional 20 million euros for Christensen.
Liverpool wants to continue their transfer business
Liverpool has already been active this summer, adding Florian Wiltz, Milos Kerkez, Jeremy Fripon, Armin Pexi, Freddie Woodman and Giorgi Mamardashvili to strengthen their teams, but the potential arrivals of Lopez and Christensen represent a key statement of intentions from the Governing Champions.
Fichajes reports that Liverpool has not hesitated to launch a “ambitious move” to win the Barcelona board, indicating their determination to further strengthen it ahead of the new season.
Fermin is a young midfielder who caught the attention of Slots. He is reportedly keen on the versatility and technical quality of the young Spaniard, and he, along with the likes of Alexis Mac Alistair and Dominique Schbossilai, is seen as a player who can add more creativity and control in the middle.
Christensen, meanwhile, is a centre-back with experience in the Chelsea and the Premier League. After losing Jarrell Quanza this summer, the Reds are looking for a deeper depth of their central defensive position.
The Reds need a new striker before any other signatures
Liverpool’s report from Fichajes looks top of the line as Liverpool won’t spend that amount on the midfielder and defender the moment the team first needs a striker.
They are considering replacing Darwin Nunez this summer, and need someone before the other players to lead the offense next season and share the burden of scoring goals with Mohamed Sarah.
It is also important to note that before making a new signature, Premier League champions will want to sell some of their unnecessary players and raise money for the transfer business.
