Liverpool’s summer transfer plans are already taking shape, with multiple reinforcements expected to arrive at Anfield.
Arne Slot has spoken about the club’s ambition in the transfer market, making it clear that Liverpool will be active in the summer window.
One of Liverpool’s key targets is a young midfielder who has caught the attention of Europe’s biggest clubs.
The 20-year-old has made a name for himself with impressive performances this season.
Despite joining his current club less than a year ago, his development has been rapid, making him one of the most exciting prospects in his position.
Liverpool are not the only ones watching closely.
The player’s price tag has reportedly been set at €60 million, and interest from Premier League rivals is growing.
While Liverpool have been monitoring him for months, recent reports suggest that another English club has now entered the race – one that has made a habit of snatching top targets from their rivals.
Manchester City enter race for Liverpool target
According to Florian Plettenberg, Manchester City have now entered the race for Hugo Larsson.
The 20-year-old midfielder is “keen on their interest,” and Eintracht Frankfurt have been informed of City’s approach.
According to the Sky Sports journalist, first initial talks took place already, showing City’s serious intent to sign him.
Frankfurt’s boss Markus Krösche is demanding at least €60m for Larsson.
Given that he is under contract until 2029, Frankfurt hold a strong position in negotiations.
Liverpool are not alone in tracking Larsson.
Arsenal, Tottenham, and several other teams are also monitoring him, including top Bundesliga clubs.
But with City now involved, Liverpool’s hopes of landing him just became much more complicated.
It remains to be seen if Liverpool will act fast or risk losing another target to a rival.
