Liverpool are preparing for a crucial summer transfer window after a difficult season that saw them post their lowest points tally in over a decade, yet still secure Champions League football on the final day. The Reds are expected to replace key figures Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, who are both leaving, with further exits possible.
Lens manager Pierre Sage has admitted that managing Liverpool would be a 'dream' job. Sage, 47, led Lens to a surprise second-place finish in Ligue 1 and a Coupe de France victory this season. Despite having a three-year deal and planning to lead Lens in the Champions League, he told Telefoot that Liverpool is his dream role.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are reportedly working on a summer move for Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries. The 30-year-old Netherlands international has a release clause of around £22 million, a fee the Reds are prepared to meet. Dumfries has been with Inter since 2021 and played his 200th game for the club this season.
Liverpool had previously shown interest in Jeremie Frimpong but have now turned their attention to Dumfries, who has also been linked with Barcelona. The full-back started six of the Netherlands' eight World Cup qualifying matches, scoring against Finland and Poland.
