Five ways Liverpool could line up after epic transfer window

  /  autty

LIVERPOOL could have a new-look attack next season with a potential £300million spending spree this summer.

Jeremie Frimpong has already arrived and Florian Wirtz is set to be the next through the door - for a British record fee of £126m.

But the champions seemingly do NOT plan to stop there.

SunSport exclusively revealed today that next on the agenda is a massive swoop for either Alexander Isak or Bradley Barcola.

Newcastle striker Isak remains the key target - but Toon chiefs are refusing to budge on their £150m asking price after qualifying for the Champions League.

And £100m-rated Paris Saint-Germain winger Barcola is the Reds' back-up plan.

That means, along with the expected signing of £40m left-back Milos Kerkez, Liverpool boss Arne Slot could take his summer spending way over the £300m mark.

To balance the books, both Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez could be sold, with Barcelona keen on the Colombian and Saudi sides chasing the Uruguayan.

And here are the ways Liverpool could line up in the Premier League next season...

Option one

Slot's dream line-up would be the inclusion of two new full-backs to freshen up the defence.

Frimpong and Kerkez will also add plenty going forward, supporting the likes of Barcola and Mo Salah in attack.

If Isak proves too expensive Cody Gakpo will likely be trusted to lead the line.

While Wirtz will operate in the space behind the Dutchman, linking play between both flanks.

Option two

Alternatively, if Liverpool do pull off one of the signings of the summer in Isak he will be one of the first names on the teamsheet.

That would likely rule out a move for Barcola, meaning Wirtz or Luis Diaz could line up at left wing.

It could also mean Slot decides to continue with the midfield three that served his team so well last season, allowing the attack the freedom to score and produce goals.

Option three

Frimpong's arrival gives Slot multiple options on the right flank thanks to his flexibility.

He operated mostly as a right wing-back at Bayer Leverkusen, contributing 30 goals and 44 assists in 190 appearances.

That attacking quality could see him play further forward at Anfield if Slot fancies giving Conor Bradley more game time.

Frimpong at right wing could also reduce Salah's workload, with the Egyptian operating through the middle instead.

Option four

There could be more opportunities for fringe players to stake their claim next season.

Caoimhin Kelleher's exit to Brentford means Giorgi Mamardashvili is now Liverpool's No2.

The Georgian signed last summer but spent the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Valencia, impressing between the sticks.

Joe Gomez could also be in line for more minutes next season but he would have to find consistency in his fitness - something which has deserted him throughout his Anfield stay.

Option five

Jarell Quansah will also be hoping to build on his breakthrough season, which was rather stunted by the fact he started just four Prem matches last season.

No Isak could mean Diogo Jota continues in attack, fitness permitting, with Barcola perhaps the only addition to the front three.
