Liverpool are preparing for a blockbuster summer transfer window with three primary targets identified to strengthen Arne Slot's squad ahead of the new season, according to exclusive reports.
Defensive Reinforcement Priority
The Reds have made Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi their number one defensive target as they seek to bolster their backline. The 23-year-old England international has impressed at Selhurst Park and is seen as the ideal long-term solution in central defence.
Guehi's commanding performances for both club and country have attracted significant attention, but Liverpool are prepared to move decisively to secure his signature ahead of potential rivals.
Creative Spark Needed
In midfield, Bayer Leverkusen's wonderkid Florian Wirtz has emerged as a key objective. The 21-year-old German playmaker was instrumental in Leverkusen's historic Bundesliga triumph and has been scouted extensively by Liverpool's recruitment team.
Wirtz's technical excellence, vision and creativity would add a new dimension to Liverpool's midfield, though competition for his signature is expected to be fierce with several European giants monitoring his situation.
Palace Double Raid
In a surprising twist, Liverpool are also considering a move for Michael Olise, which would see them raid Crystal Palace for a second key player. The French winger has been in sensational form this season, contributing 10 goals and 5 assists despite injury disruptions.
Olise's release clause, believed to be in the region of £60 million, makes him an attractive proposition for top clubs seeking proven Premier League quality.
Strategic Overhaul Under New Leadership
This ambitious triple-swoop represents the first major statement of intent from new head coach Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes. The Dutch manager is keen to put his own stamp on the squad inherited from Jurgen Klopp.
The potential acquisitions address key areas of concern: defensive solidity, midfield creativity and attacking depth. With several players potentially departing this summer, Liverpool are positioning themselves for a significant squad refresh.
Insiders suggest that while all three targets are ambitious, the club's recruitment team believes they represent achievable objectives given Liverpool's pulling power and financial capabilities.
