Liverpool targets three world-class signings for £252m

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is looking to make significant changes to his team this summer. Reports say he aims to sign three world-class players, including Inter Milan's Alessandro Bastoni, RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons, and Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez. The total cost for these signings could reach £252 million. Slot's team is currently performing well in the Premier League, with a title victory likely in his first season. However, their early exit from the Champions League and a loss in the Carabao Cup final have sparked concerns about the squad's depth. Former player Jamie Carragher mentioned that Slot does not trust several current players, leading to speculation about a major rebuild. Milos Kerkez, a Bournemouth full-back, has been identified as a key target for the left-back position. Reports suggest that Slot will receive a substantial transfer budget to strengthen the team further for both domestic and European competitions. Alvarez, who joined Atletico from Manchester City last year, has had a successful season. He was previously linked to Liverpool, and while he remains a target, he recently signed a six-year deal with Atletico, making any transfer complicated. Liverpool may consider a player swap, with Darwin Nunez being a potential option. In addition to new arrivals, there are rumors that some key players, including Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, might leave the club. This could lead to a new-look squad next season. Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is also attracting interest from several clubs, despite earlier speculation. Liverpool has already discussed the possibility of signing Victor Osimhen, with reports indicating that Diogo Jota might be sold to help fund this acquisition. Wolves are reportedly interested in bringing Jota back to their team.
