Liverpool dream 2026-27 XI as £60m star slots in and Mo Salah replacement signs

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot faces a major rebuild this summer after a disappointing Premier League title defence. With several key players set to leave, the club is expected to be active in the transfer market, targeting five new signings to reshape the squad for the 2026-27 season.

In goal, Alisson's injury-hit campaign has opened the door for Giorgi Mamardashvili to take over as first-choice keeper. PSG's Lucas Chevalier could also arrive to provide competition. At right-back, Pedro Porro of Tottenham is seen as a Premier League-ready replacement for the departed Trent Alexander-Arnold, while Milos Kerkez is set to become the first-choice left-back after Andy Robertson's expected exit.

Virgil van Dijk's leadership remains crucial at centre-back, where he will likely partner new £60m signing Jeremy Jacquet, who joined in January. Ibrahima Konate may also stay. In midfield, Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson is a top target, potentially costing up to £120m, to add resilience alongside Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai. Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo could all leave.

Up front, a replacement for Mohamed Salah is needed, with Florian Wirtz among the candidates despite a mixed start to his Liverpool career. The ideal XI aims to blend experience with youth as Slot seeks to restore the club to title contention.
