Liverpool draw up three-man summer shortlist as Reds prepare to splash the cash in bid to retain Premier League title with Darwin Nunez and Trent Alexander-Arnold likely to leave

Liverpool have wasted no time turning their focus to future glory after wrapping up the Premier League title with a dominant 5-1 win over Tottenham. With their record equalling 20th league crown secured, the club’s hierarchy is now preparing an ambitious summer overhaul to give new manager Arne Slot the tools he needs to keep the trophy at Anfield next season.

According to The Daily Mail,Slot has already identified a three-player shortlist that could headline their summer spending. Reinforcements are expected at both ends of the pitch, with a new centre-forward and additions to the backline topping the agenda.

Bournemouth’s promising left-back Milos Kerkez and young centre-back Dean Huijsen, who has spent the season impressing on loan, are among the defensive targets under serious consideration. Meanwhile, Liverpool are also keeping close tabs on Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike, with the Frenchman seen as a potential option to bolster the frontline. While the focus appears to be on bolstering the defence and attack, club sources indicate that strengthening the midfield has not been ruled out.

As Liverpool fans continue to celebrate their team’s remarkable campaign, the city will come together in just under a month for the official trophy parade on May 26. However, while off-pitch planning intensifies, Liverpool still have business on the field to take care of. Their next fixture will be a high-profile visit to Stamford Bridge, where they face Chelsea on May 4.
