Liverpool are set for a summer that could see some statement arrivals link up with Arne Slot at Anfield and they are now closing in on yet another high-profile capture, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Liverpool finally lift the Premier League trophy
Admittedly, Liverpool took their foot off the gas after being crowned Premier League champions, but that is only a natural consequence of securing glory with several matches left to spare.
Nevertheless, Arne Slot has given a positive overview of potential transfer business at Anfield as the Reds begin to put the wheels in motion to defend their status as top-flight holders.

He stated on prospective arrivals: "I don't know if it's going to be a lot but we know, the club, Richard (Hughes), the ownership, we are all aligned on what we are trying to achieve.
"It is already very, very positive that we kept Mo and Virgil and a few others that we are trying to sign look positive."
Bayer Leverkusen duo Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong could be on their way to Liverpool. Both deals look to be edging closer, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is headed out of the club after his last appearance on Sunday against Crystal Palace.

Contrary to recent times, FSG are set to use their licence to probe in the market as Slot's men attempt to compete on both domestic and European fronts next campaign.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Liverpool have reached an agreement on personal terms with a proven Premier League performer.
Romano: Liverpool reach personal terms 'agreement' with Milos Kerkez
Speaking via GIVEMESPORT on Monday morning, Romano has confirmed that Liverpool are closing in on Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez after finding an 'agreement' on personal terms with the Hungary international.
He stated: "My information, guys, is that Kerkez already has an agreement on personal terms with Liverpool. So just about some small details to be clarified.

"And then Liverpool are in contact with Bournemouth. Liverpool are still working on this one. So not only Wirtz, not only Frimpong, also in active conversations for Kerkez, and this week, the conversations will continue to get the deal done."
Deemed to be on the move for a fee of £45 million, the 21-year-old has registered two goals and six assists in 41 appearances across all competitions, putting himself in the shop window for a switch to one of England's elite clubs.
Liverpool need a long-term competitor for Andy Robertson and Kerkez is one of the best around in that respect. Now, it remains to be seen whether the finer details can be thrashed out to bring him to Anfield.
