Liverpool are preparing to make new signings and are poised to acquire a striker currently competing in the Euros in Germany. With Arne Slot at the helm, the club’s owners, FSG, are eager to support their new manager as they aim to catch up to Manchester City and Arsenal next season.
For Slot, meticulous planning alongside Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards will be crucial in identifying and securing transfer targets. Liverpool is considering several positions, including the forward line, as they seek a new striker to address Darwin Nunez’s end-of-season dip in form.
According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool may be ready to make a move for Joshua Zirkzee, a key target for Manchester United. Slot is reportedly a big admirer of Zirkzee, and Liverpool is in the running should the forward not finalize a deal with United. Zirkzee has been in discussions with Manchester United, who have indicated their willingness to trigger his release clause, believed to be around £34 million—a reasonable fee for a top forward in today’s market.
Zirkzee, once hailed as being ‘better than Erling Haaland’ in 2022, has attracted attention from several big clubs, including Arsenal, Tottenham, and AC Milan. While it remains uncertain if Liverpool will proceed with this transfer, the club is known for its meticulous and efficient approach to transfer dealings. If they decide to act, the deal could happen swiftly and unexpectedly this summer.
