Liverpool are reportedly 'putting the feelers out' for a new midfielder this summer as Arne Slot looks to reinforce his squad following a disappointing campaign. The Reds are also in the market for a Mohamed Salah replacement, with the Egyptian leaving the club at the end of the season.
The Reds' transfer plans could spell bad news for Manchester United, who are also on the hunt for midfielders. Several of United's top targets have also been linked with Liverpool previously, including Adam Wharton.
Liverpool are expected for another busy summer as they try to right the wrongs from this season. Slot's side romped to the Premier League title last season and had been the favourites to retain their crown, but have been a far cry away from their imperious best.
Reports from the Daily Mail claim the Reds are looking to add more mobility to their midfield, adding energy and athleticism this summer. Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, Wharton and Sandro Tonali are among the stars linked with a move to Old Trafford, with the Italian tentatively linked with Anfield in recent weeks.
Reds boss Slot has already admitted that Liverpool are in a transitional period as a club and that certain players are coming towards the end of their cycle with the club. He said: 'We are a club in transition... the future looks very good, especially if we can sign players after good players leaving this summer.'
