Liverpool are expected to make at least five new signings in another transformative summer window, with a Porto ace reportedly in their sights.<\/p>\n
Liverpool<\/a> spent a huge \u00a3440million last summer to sign Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni. The Reds even broke the British transfer record twice, first on Wirtz, and then again on Isak.<\/p>\n However, Arne Slot and Richard Hughes will need to re-enter the market this summer, especially now Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson are leaving\u2026<\/p>\n Priority positions named<\/p>\n In his latest Q&A for The Athletic<\/a>, Liverpool reporter James Pearce has revealed the five positions he expects the club to strengthen ready for next season.<\/p>\n Liverpool \u2018have to buy at pace\u2019 as they need \u2018at least two attackers\u2019. A right winger will be required to replace Salah, while Federico Chiesa is also expected to depart.<\/p>\n FSG were originally only planning on signing one new forward, but Ekitike\u2019s ruptured Achilles means they need a second attacking addition.<\/p>\n Pearce added: \u2018The midfield needs strengthening, and how much needs to be done in that area depends on whether Curtis Jones moves on.<\/p>\n \u2018There are issues to address in both full-back positions. Liverpool must decide whether to buy a left-back to act as Milos Kerkez\u2019s understudy following Andy Robertson\u2019s exit or turn to Kostas Tsimikas after his loan at Roma.<\/p>\n \u2018I think they also need a right-back to compete with [Conor] Bradley once he\u2019s fit again.\u2019<\/p>\n The likes of Yan Diomande, Anthony Gordon, Adam Wharton, Alejandro Balde and Denzel Dumfries are all on Liverpool\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n A potential target to improve Liverpool\u2019s midfield options was named earlier on Thursday, too\u2026<\/p>\n Want more breaking transfer lines from original sources?
