Remember last summer. Everyone welcomed the anticipation of Liverpool, who completed a pharaonic transfer window (Isak, Ekitike, Wirtz, Frimpong, Kerkez) in the wake of their title of champion of England, in the hope of extending their success over many years. All with the extensions of Salah and Van Dijk. But nothing went as planned and Liverpool had a disastrous season, the hardest of his career in the words of the Dutch central defender.
So Liverpool are preparing for another summer overhaul. Because this time, Mohamed Salah is indeed leaving the Reds. And we will have to find a replacement for him on the right side, which seems to be the priority of this summer market, after having been the deficiency of the season. And according to the English media, it is the Ivorian Yan Diomandé, from RB Leipzig, who occupies pole position. Author of 12 goals in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig, he presents a profile that appeals to Liverpool: young, versatile, with room for improvement.
Another offensive rookie?
Also cited: Bradley Barcola and Anthony Gordon. Two more expensive tracks, especially since the right lane is not their preferred position. Liverpool could also, according to Skysportsrecruit a new central striker, due to the long-term injury of Hugo Ekitike. On the other hand, the Reds will not need to strengthen in the axis of defense. Already, the Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson could finally stay, despite the pressure from Juventus.
Then there is the Ibrahima Konaté case, which has still not continued even though the trend was clear a few weeks ago. The French defender leaves the suspense hanging, but Liverpool will recover young Leoni, back from his knee injury, and especially Jérémy Jacquet, recruited during the season. It will be necessary to replace Andy Robertson numerically, to compete with Kerkez in the left lane. You will have understood, despite last summer’s spending, Liverpool has work to do!
