After a first year marked by a coronation in the Premier League, Arne Slot intends to lead Liverpool again to the English and European summits. To do this, the Dutch technician has already received valuable reinforcements this summer 2025. Indeed, the residents of Anfield have already welcomed Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Giorgi Mamardashvili and Jeremie Frimpong for a total amount of £ 200 million, or around € 230 million. A sum that will increase since the Reds will sign Hugo Ekitike, who is expected today in Liverpool in order to pass his medical visit before initiating a six -year lease.

To dislodge it from Eintracht Frankfurt, the English will sign a check of around € 90 million. This will increase the summer expenses of the Mersey club at € 320 million. And it's not over yet. Indeed, all British media agree that the Champions of England now want to strengthen in defense. The Athletic Assures this Tuesday that Slot wants two players in competition with each position. Currently, he can only count on Virgil Van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez. Watara Endo can be an option.

Liverpool in Guehi in his viewfinder

But the Dutch coach believes that a recruit is necessary in the axis after the departure of Jarell Quansah in Bayer Leverkusen. In addition, the Premier League stable is not reassured by the Ibrahima Konaté case. At the end of the contract in a year, French is not against a departure in a year as revealed by us. Especially since Real Madrid, which does not exclude going to the offensive if the door opens, follows it with interest. A situation that Liverpool wants at all costs to avoid the LFC, which resumed discussions with the entourage of the player as indicated by the Liverpool Echo. Despite everything, the club trained by Arne Slot needs additional reinforcement.

And the leaders already have a name in mind. It is Marc Guehi (25 years old). An element that has been followed for a little while and is always in the small management papers according to The Athletic. Tottenham is also on the spot. For his part, Crystal Palace, a club where he is under contract until 2026, would prefer to take money this summer rather than lose it for free in a year. Liverpool, who is patient, wants to recruit him at the fairest price. The English club will be ready to discuss if the Eagles accept an amount of around € 58 million adds the Mirror. The Reds will still break their piggy bank this summer, they could go up to € 378 million spent in all if Guehi arrives.
