Compared with Manchester United, Chelsea and other teams, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool, who finished in the top three last season, have not shown signs of major transfers this summer, Manchester City signed Savio, Arsenal and Calafioli have now reached a personal agreement, only Liverpool has not made much move. According to reports from the English media, Liverpool do not have much of a plan for the change of manager, and the first thing they need to confirm is the contract issues of Salah and Alexander-Arnold, both of whom are set to expire next year.
Last season's Liverpool were still in contention for the title halfway through the league schedule, but at the end of the league they collapsed on all fronts, being overtaken in the league, eliminated from the FA Cup, and the Champions League was not particularly ideal. Compared with Manchester City and Arsenal, the two favourites to win the title, Liverpool's squad is still a little weak, and after the arrival of Slot, Liverpool has not made much move to complete the signing of new players, and the team's future focus is also on the renewal of Salah and Alexander-Arnold.
Judging from the current news, Salah's attitude towards leaving the team is still unclear, and Salah is not willing to accept the olive branch thrown by the Saudi league at this stage. Although the Saudi league offers higher salaries, Salah is willing to stay in Europe and show his quality on a higher stage. However, there is still not much progress in the contract renewal negotiations between the two sides, and Liverpool are not willing to offer too long a contract, only willing to give a 1+1 contract to ensure that Salah will not leave as a free agent.
Liverpool prince Trent Alexander-Arnold's contract extension talks have not been particularly smooth, and the attacking defender, who was converted into a full-back by Jurgen Klopp, is now on the radar of Real Madrid, who are hoping to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold to take Carvajal's place in the future. However, Real Madrid is now in the observation stage and has not started formal negotiations, and Alexander-Arnold's attitude is more inclined to renew his contract and stay in the team, and only if the two sides cannot reach an agreement, will he consider the possibility of leaving Liverpool, which also tests Edwards' plans for the future of the team.
If Klopp stays in the team, Liverpool is likely to make reinforcements to ensure the team's championship competitiveness, but after Klopp left, Liverpool's plans have also changed, which is very obvious in their recruitment. Now Liverpool is also watching to see the renewal of players and the right targets in the transfer market, especially in the central defender position, Liverpool's transfer budget is still not sufficient, it is difficult to join the competition for top central defenders, and it is likely to consider players such as Inacio of Sporting Portugal.
