Liverpool prepare mega-money deal worth €100m on demand of Arne Slot.
Slot & Liverpool Target Barcelona Duo in Summer Shake-up
Liverpool lifted the Premier League trophy last season in style. Although, Arne Slot is still looking to make few changes to his squad. He is now eyeing for a bold €100m move targeting **Barcelona**‘s Fermin Lopez and Andreas Christensen.
As per Fichajes, the Reds are ready to offer €80m for Lopez and €20m for Christensen in a double move. It is aimed at boosting their midfield and defensive line. Slot is said to be a admirer of Lopez’s talent and flair. He believes the Spaniard could bring extra spark to his side. Though they already have a strong unit featuring Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. But, the manager seems to be wanting for more.
Christensen is a former Chelsea man and is seen as a solid option to add proven depth at centre-back. This comes especially after the exit of Jarell Quansah earlier this summer.
Transfers Continue, But Striker Still a Priority
Liverpool have already signed several names this transfer window. Now, there are growing concerns that their big gap remains unnoticed.
Meanwhile, Darwin Nunez’s future is uncertain. There are doubts around his consistency. Many believe a top striker should be the main focus before investing heavily elsewhere. Although, the pursuit of Lopez and Christensen shows their intent. However, spending €100m on a midfielder and defender may not be the wisest call.
Their team still lacks a reliable goal machine to support Mohamed Salah. Slot understands this and is expected to sell a few players to raise funds. They are looking at few other options for new big-name arrivals.
It’s clear the champions want to stay ahead of the pack. But, smart spending and addressing the real gaps will be key. The Reds are making sure their dominance continues into next season and beyond.
