Liverpool will be aiming to defend their Premier League title next season

Liverpool’s starting lineup is expected to change in a number of areas next season despite winning the Premier League title in Arne Slot’s first campaign in charge.

The Anfield outfit were crowned champions with four games to spare after dismantling Tottenham’s defence in a vintage 5-1 home win in April and have now joined Manchester United as the most successful team in English football history with 20 titles since being founded in 1892 with two of those coming in the Premier League era.

It could be argued however that the hard work at least on the transfer side of things is just starting, with Trent Alexander-Arnold expected to leave the club on a free transfer to join Real Madrid, and reports linking big names such as Darwin Nunez, Joe Gomez and Caiomhin Kelleher among others with moves away from Anfield to facilitate a number of marquee signings.

Goalkeeper and defence

GK: Alisson Becker: The Brazilian international remains the first choice at Anfield despite the arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili, who finally links up with his new team-mates after spending time on loan at Valencia. He remains one of the very best in the business between the posts and has been pivotal to the Reds’ recent success.

RB: Jeremie Frimpong (signing): The Netherlands international, who was once briefly on the books at Manchester City, is regarded as one of the best right wing-backs in world football and is seen as the ideal replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold due to his attacking qualities. German outlet Bild understands the Bayer Leverkusen star has a release clause of around £35m with a number of Premier League teams showing interest.

CB: Virgil van Dijk: Liverpool’s captain, leader, legend has signed a new contract with the club which ensures his future for the next two seasons. Few signings have been more inspiring than the Dutchman in the Premier League era and it’s a relief for Arne Slot that he’s not been forced to find a replacement for his skipper just yet.

CB: Marc Guehi (signing): Crystal Palace captain Guehi is in the final season of his contract at Selhurst Park and has continued to stall over a new contract in the capital. Recent rumours suggest he’s a player that Liverpool admire and potentially the perfect replacement for Ibrahima Konate amid reports linking him with a shock exit.

LB: Milos Kerkez (signing): It’s expected to be all change in the full-back area this summer as Liverpool scour the market to find a long-term replacement for Andrew Robertson, who has been the subject of scrutiny at times this season. The Reds are said to be lining up a £45m offer to try and prise the talented 21-year-old away from Bournemouth after a sublime campaign for the Cherries.

Midfield and attack

CM: Ryan Gravenberch: Liverpool’s defensive midfield area was once seen as a problem position for the team before Ryan Gravenberch made the area his own with a series of consistent performances. The Netherlands international has slotted beautifully into Arne Slot’s system and remains a key player next term.

CM: Alexis Mac Allister: 2022 World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister is expected to be a key component once again in the middle of the park as the Reds look to defend their Premier League crown.

CAM: Florian Wirtz: Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz is rapidly becoming one of the most coveted young footballers on the planet and Liverpool are one of the team’s interested in his services, according to Caught Offside. The outlet explains the 2024 Bundesliga winners are looking for a fee in the region of £100m which would smash Liverpool’s all-time record transfer fee.

RW: Mohamed Salah: Arguably the most important business Liverpool have made is retaining the services of Mohamed Salah for another two seasons. The forward is firmly on course to win the PFA Player of the Season award after breaking the record for goal contributions in a single season.

ST: Victor Osimhen (signing): Liverpool are in the market for a world-class striker that can take them to the next level in Europe, and one star that could be on the shortlist is Nigerian Victor Osimhen. The Mirror reports that a figure of £64m will be required to sign the Nigerian international, who has scored over 30 goals for Galatasaray this season.

LW: Luis Diaz: Colombian attacker Luis Diaz has played a key role in Liverpool’s success this season and his renowned for his ability to run at full-backs and stretch defences with his incredible speed and ball control. The Reds will do everything they can to retain him amid interest from Barcelona.
