Liverpool are closing in on their second title of the Premier League era and boast an excellent squad, but it wouldn't be surprising if significant changes were on the horizon at Anfield this summer.
Liverpool's transfer plans begin to take clear direction
The Reds have enjoyed a superb campaign and will likely soon be Premier League champions. Still, Trent Alexander-Arnold's impending free transfer to Real Madrid has divided supporters on the red half of Merseyside.
While the Three Lions international is entitled to look after his best interests, the manner of his move to the Champions League holders has undoubtedly left a sour taste for a fanbase that has seen him develop from novice to all-action full-back under Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot.
Liverpool-Trent-Alexander-Arnold
Replacing his influence is at the top of the Reds' agenda. In turn, Newcastle United's Tino Livramento is now a target for Liverpool, and chiefs are exploring the realities of a deal behind the scenes.
Admittedly, there aren't many top sides that hold their right-back to such elevated creative standards. If anything, that reflects the level of talent walking through the Anfield exit door to join Real Madrid.

Casting an eye towards other areas where reinforcements could occur, Liverpool are in the mix to sign Southampton's Tyler Dibling, which may point to where they plan to replicate Alexander-Arnold's capacity to fashion opportunities.
Either way, Slot won't rest on his laurels in the hunt for further silverware. Ruthless decisions will need to be made if the Reds plan to stay at the top table for years to come.
Taking that advice on board, the Dutchman is now open to sanctioning a sale for one of his other prominent first-teamers who has endured a tough time this campaign.
Liverpool 'happy' to sell Darwin Nunez this summer
According to Football Transfers, Liverpool are now 'happy' to sell Darwin Nunez this summer and are braced for a 'big approach' from the Saudi Pro League for the Uruguay international.
Previously, the Reds didn't want Nunez to leave for Al-Hilal in January despite their willingness to put forward serious financial muscle to land his services. Now, in a twist of fate, Slot is ready to recoup the initial £62.5 million the club shelled out for the striker in 2022.

He could replace Alexander-Arnold.
Struggling for form this season, Nunez has registered seven goals and seven assists in 40 appearances. His inconsistent return has led to the likes of Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz being preferred as forward line starting options.
Nevertheless, he has been labelled "incredible" by Slot in the past, so there is obviously some level of belief from the Dutchman in the former Benfica star's abilities.
Either way, that doesn't look to be enough to save his career on Merseyside, with Liverpool now gearing up for a potential windfall should he depart for the Gulf region.
