Five ways Liverpool could line up after epic transfer window, including Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola & Alexander Isak
Scroll down to see which surprise name could be a regular next season FIVE LIVE Five ways Liverpool could line up after epic transfer window, including Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola & Alexander Isak Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LIVERPOOL could have a new-look attack next season with a potential £300million spending spree this summer. Jeremie Frimpong has already arrived and Florian Wirtz is set to be the next through the door - for a British record fee of £127m. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Liverpool will have a new look next season with Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong Credit: Getty 8 Alexander Isak remains a transfer target for the Reds Credit: Getty 8 Liverpool want Bradley Barcola to add firepower to their attack Credit: AFP The Reds do not plan to stop there however, as Alexander Isak remains a key target. That interest could fade if Newcastle refuse to budge from their £150m asking price, but Liverpool have alternative targets. One of those is Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola, who has also attracted interest from Bayern Munich. Arne Slot could complete his summer splurge by bringing in Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL FRENCH CONNECTION Utd star Rashford spotted with mystery woman on St Tropez break Kerkez is valued at £40m and Liverpool have opened talks over his transfer, but if the two clubs fail to agree a fee then Andy Robertson will likely continue in the left-back berth. Here are the ways Liverpool could line up in the Premier League next season. Option one 8 Slot's dream line-up would be the inclusion of two new full-backs to freshen up the defence. Frimpong and Kerkez would also add plenty going forward, supporting the likes of Barcola and Mo Salah in attack. BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS If Isak proves too expensive Cody Gakpo will likely be trusted to lead the line, with Wirtz operating in the space behind the Dutchman, linking play between both flanks. Option two 8 Liverpool fans sharing bizarre Donald Trump clip as Reds close in on £125million Florian Wirtz transfer Alternatively, if Liverpool do pull off one of the signings of the summer in Isak he will be one of the first names on the teamsheet. That would likely rule out a move for Barcola, meaning Wirtz or Luis Diaz could line up at left wing. It could also mean Slot decides to continue with the midfield three that served his team so well next season, allowing the attack the freedom to score and produce goals. Option three 8 Frimpong's arrival gives Slot multiple options on the right flank thanks to his flexibility. He operated mostly as a right wing-back at Bayer Leverkusen, contributing 30 goals and 44 assists in 190 appearances. That attacking quality could see him play further forward at Anfield if Slot fancies giving Conor Bradley more game time. Frimpong at right wing could also reduce Salah's workload, with the Egyptian operating through the middle instead. Option four 8 There could be more opportunities for fringe players to stake their claim next season. Caoimhin Kelleher's exit to Brentford means Giorgi Mamardashvili is now Liverpool's No2. The Georgian signed last summer but spent the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Valencia, impressing between the sticks. Joe Gomez could also be in line for more minutes next season but he would have to find consistency in his fitness - something which has deserted him throughout his Anfield stay. Option five 8 Jarell Quansah will also be hoping to build on his breakthrough season, which was rather stunted by the fact he started just four Prem matches last season. No Isak could mean Diogo Jota continues in attack, fitness permitting, with Barcola perhaps the only addition to the front three.
