How Liverpool might arrange themselves with three new signings and a single position switch under Arne Slot
Arne Slot, the manager of Feyenoord, is apparently set to receive a €11 million compensation package from Liverpool. With the upcoming season without Jurgen Klopp, the Reds can now focus on reorganizing their roster to accommodate Slot’s demands. Despite appearing to be losing their title challenge at the last hurdle, the Anfield team has a talented team that fits in nicely with the 45-year-old’s favored 4-2-3-1 high-pressing approach. These are the possible lineups for Liverpool under Slot following a little cosmetic surgery in the transfer market. GK: Alisson Alisson, who is under contract for an additional three years and is arguably the best player in the world in his specialty, has the most safe position of any Liverpool player as the team starts
This season, the 31-year-old missed time due to injury; backup Caoimhin Kelleher filled in brilliantly. However, there’s no real substitute for the Brazilian’s overall quality. He will be essential to any accomplishments made under Slot. RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold, a rising talent from home Trent Alexander:Since Arnold’s Liverpool contract is about to expire, guaranteeing his future will be a top priority for the incoming manager and decision-makers Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards.
After the England international is secured, Slot’s next challenge will be to choose a position, either at right-back or farther forward in midfield, that best utilizes his creative abilities while counteracting his defensive shortcomings. Ibrahima Konate, CB Since joining Liverpool in 2021 on a £36 million contract from RB Leipzig, the France international Ibrahima Konate has been an excellent companion for Virgil van Dijk at the center of the backline. Joel Matip, who is virtually certainly going to leave as a free agent this summer, was replaced by Konate.
CM – Alexis Mac Allister
A £35 million arrival from Brighton last summer, Liverpool’s purchase of Alexis Mac Allister is a contender to be considered the signing of the season.
The majestic World Cup winner has added a controlling influence in midfield while also providing crucial goals and assists to drive the Reds’ title push. He’ll be a mainstay of the next manager’s midfield set-up.
