Liverpool could now look to reignite their interest in a young talent as they aim to reinforce Andoni Iraola's squad in the summer transfer window.
If Liverpool want their new manager to be successful, then there's no doubt they need to bring in reinforcements over the coming weeks.
It is, however, incredibly important that their recruitment improves after Arne Slot struggled following a busy summer transfer window last year.
Some of their new additions have struggled to hit the ground running, which is forcing the Reds back into the market.
Liverpool also need to replace some of their outgoing stars, with Andy Robertson, Ibrahima Konate and Mohamed Salah all leaving on free transfers.
It could be another busy window for the Merseyside club.

According to reports, Liverpool are one of the sides once again showing an interest in signing Wolves midfielder Mateus Mane in the summer transfer window.
The Reds are yet to submit an official approach, while Wolves value him in the region of £35m.
Liverpool face strong competition for his signature, including from three Premier League clubs, while Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt are also keen on the young talent.
Wolves are determined to keep hold of Mane, described as 'special', heading into the new season, despite them being relegated from the Premier League last term.
Whether the stance changes if a big offer arrives on the table remains to be seen.

Mane Tipped to Become One of the Best
Mateus Mane
Mane enjoyed a phenomenal breakout season with Wolves despite them being relegated from the Premier League.
Former Wolves manager Vitor Pereira was full of praise for the 18-year-old during his time at the club, tipping him to become “one of the best players not just at our club, but in this league."
Mane took on a lot of responsibility last season, and it takes a big personality to be able to shine in a side struggling so much in the Premier League.
As it stands, he looks set to be dropping down a league to the Championship. At the age of 18, there's certainly no shame in plying your trade in the second tier.
