Liverpool have reportedly conducted thorough evaluations on three Premier League forwards ahead of the summer transfer window.
It was a tough week for Arne Slot and his team, as Liverpool saw two major trophy hopes slip away. The Reds were eliminated from the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain before suffering a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final.
With nine matches remaining, Liverpool must now focus on maintaining their 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Looking ahead to the summer, reports suggest the club may revamp its attacking options. According to Sky Sports, several key players—including Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa, Luis Díaz, and Darwin Núñez—could be offloaded.
Additionally, Mohamed Salah’s future remains uncertain, as the 32-year-old’s contract is set to expire at the end of the 2024/25 season, potentially allowing him to leave Anfield for free.
As a result, Liverpool have reportedly been assessing potential replacements, with Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, and Brighton’s João Pedro among their targets.
A Sky Sports report stated:
“If the Premier League’s top scorer (Salah) were to depart, it would leave a major rebuilding task for Sporting Director Richard Hughes. Liverpool have reportedly done due diligence on Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, and Brighton’s João Pedro as potential reinforcements.”
Addressing Liverpool’s recent setbacks, manager Arne Slot remained optimistic:
“If a team can beat us in that style, they’re probably the best in Europe right now. They’ll have to prove they can maintain that level over the next few months. But I want to emphasize that our week started positively with a win over Southampton, which extended our lead to 12 points with nine games remaining. As you progress in tournaments, the competition gets tougher, and even Liverpool can lose matches. That’s football.”
