When Liverpool last won the league, their transfer window was hardly filled with much inspiration. The most notable of arrivals saw Diogo Jota join from Wolves.
This time around, things are vastly different. The Reds are attacking things hard and have already made a seismic statement.

In 2025, Liverpool have already spent more than that aforementioned window, firstly bringing in Jeremie Frimpong to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold and then signing £116m man Florian Wirtz.
There's more to come in the form of Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez, while Alexander Isak continues to be linked with a move to Anfield. Just imagine that.

Once the Kerkez move is completed, the Reds could turn their attention towards another Premier League defender.

Frimpong has arrived to strengthen the right-hand side and before too long, Kerkez will come in to bolster the left.
The latest on that move is that Liverpool have now agreed a £40m deal to bring the Hungarian full-back to Merseyside.

Reports suggest that the player has already undergone his medical with the club and has been spotted at the training ground.
So, with that move wrapped up, Liverpool could now look at getting a move over the line for Crystal Palace defender, Marc Guehi.
A few days ago now it was reported that Richard Hughes and Co were preparing an offer to sign the England centre-back and a deal is now said to be moving in the right direction on the player side.
According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool are now 'very close' to reaching an agreement with the player on personal terms.
Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi
It's widely thought that Guehi will be allowed to leave Selhurst Park this summer with only one year remaining on his current deal. The Eagles value him at £70m but due to his contract situation, they may be forced to sell for around £45m.
Liverpool face plenty of competition for the defender's signature, notably from Newcastle United.
How Guehi could emulate Mac Allister at Anfield
Liverpool have had great success at signing players from fellow Premier League clubs. The aforementioned Jota, despite his injury history, has done a sterling job, scoring 65 goals in 182 matches.
In recent years, Alexis Mac Allister stands proud as one of their finest investments.
In the summer of 2023, the Reds needed to strengthen in the middle of the park following the exits of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho. They did so by bringing in Mac Allister, a World Cup winner, from Brighton in a deal worth £35m.
That fee has turned out to be a bargain. The Argentine is not just one of the most consistent players in the Liverpool team but he's also one of the most consistent figures in the entire Premier League.
His peers think so as well, with the midfielder nominated for the PFA's Player of the Season award alongside Mohammed Salah.
That is a fine reward for the South American who enjoyed a fabulous campaign in the engine room. A natural leader, he certainly led by example with his performances, scoring seven goals and registering six assists in 49 matches across all competitions.
Vitally, Mac Allister didn't need much time to adapt to Liverpool, largely because he'd already had great success in England with Brighton.

Guehi is a similar situation. Of course, he's English, which will certainly help the adaptation period, but the fact he's already starred in the Premier League will no doubt make this a truly risk-free signing for Slot and Co.
It's in the last year that the Eagles star has really started to make a statement with his performances.
Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi reacts after the match
Since coming through at Chelsea, many have tipped the defender for big things and he could realise that by making a move to Anfield this summer. He's deserving of a move, notably heralded as "England's best centre-back" by one content creator following his displays at last summer's European Championships.
Since then, he's only gone from strength to strength. Guehi, the current captain at Palace, was one of the main factors behind their recent FA Cup success, famously beating Manchester City in the final.

In doing so, he kept a clean sheet, showing his ability to perform in the big games. Like Mac Allister, he's incredibly consistent. He didn't make a single error leading to a goal all season in the Premier League and only made two errors leading to a shot.
In fact, since he signed for Palace, he's only made two errors leading to a goal and four errors leading to a shot in the league. In the words of football writer Stuart James, he is an "incredible" defender.
For added context, Ibrahima Konate made one error leading to a goal last season and two leading to a shot. Since moving to Liverpool, he's made five errors leading to a goal in the top-flight. On that evidence, Guehi is a little smarter, certainly more consistent.
Like Mac Allister, he could be the risk-free bargain signing that would make Liverpool even better. If a deal can be done for £45m, it's a no-brainer.
