Liverpool have shortlisted another target in the striker position ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Premier League champions aren’t planning to stop this summer, as the incoming list of players could be bigger than expected.
The Merseyside club signed Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen. This move quickly replaces Trent Alexander-Arnold on the right side.
Arne Slot hasn’t stopped there and is pushing for a record-breaking transfer window. Liverpool have reportedly sealed a deal with the German club to sign Florian Wirtz for a massive €150 million fee.
Wirtz’s transfer will be the third highest of all time—just behind Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, and the most expensive for any English club.
This could turn out to be one of the busiest and most expensive windows in recent history for Liverpool, with several big-name targets already secured.
Another deal is also close to being sealed. The Reds are reportedly set to sign Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth for a fee of around €45 million.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are also looking to bring in a striker, with Uruguayan forward Darwin Nunez on the verge of leaving the club this summer.
They have multiple names on the shortlist. Reports suggest the Premier League champions have marked Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak as top options.
Now, the latest reports claim that Liverpool have added another star forward to their list.

Liverpool is targeting a Serie A forward for the summer transfer window
According to reports via AreaNapoliit, Liverpool are strong contenders to sign a Serie A forward, with his current club unwilling to sell him to league rivals.
The player is reportedly unhappy at his current club, having left last season on loan to Galatasaray. He scored 37 goals in 41 games for the Turkish side across all competitions.
He played a crucial role in leading Napoli to a historic Serie A title in the 2022/23 season.
Liverpool could consider him a key target, considering his recent season’s numbers. He might also come cheaper, while Ekitike and Isak could each cost around €100 million.
