Liverpool are readying themselves to return to pre-season as Arne Slot’s tenure will begin in earnest.
Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp in the Anfield hot seat more than a month ago. And after Klopp’s near nine years in charge, which yielded seven major trophies including the Champions League and Premier League, a new era is upon us.
Slot will meet some of his players for the first time at the beginning of July at the AXA Training Centre before the rest who have been competing at Euro 2024 and the Copa America join later in the summer.
The Dutchman has already insisted there will not be major changes at Liverpool. Nevertheless, fans are intrigued if any signings will be made in the summer transfer window. The Reds have been linked with several names throughout. The latest is Anthony Gordon but talks were pulled after Liverpool would not agree to allow Jarell Quansah to go the other way.
But it’s said that negotiations could be revived as Newcastle have to make a sale before June 30’s financial deadline to comply with Premier League profit and sustainability rules.
Liverpool may look to bolster their squad in other areas, too, before the window is shut. Here, we take a look at the Reds’ potential starting XI for the 2024-24 season if some of the rumours are indeed true.
