Liverpool are facing many challenges ahead of the 2025 summer market. Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure leaves a huge void in squad quality for Arne Slot. Not only that, the remaining ministries such as Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are all old, the ability to contribute long-term is impossible.
The first place to look is the left wing. This season, there was a time when Kostas Tsimikas took over for Andy Robertson who was out of form and injured. However, Robertson is still a more regular starter but his form is not as good as before. If he loses Alexander-Arnold, the synchronization of the two wings, Liverpool's very strong weapon, will certainly not be the same as before.
Alisson Becker's goalkeeper position also needs to be recalculated. The 32-year-old Brazilian star is still showing good form, but the appearance of Giorgi Mamardashvili this summer will create competitiveness. At the same time, Caoimhin Kelleher's desire to leave also leaves great pressure on Arne Slot. If Alisson remains a check, the chance for Mamardashvili to develop is almost gone and Kelleher can leave, The Kop will lose a very quality reserve option.
Although Salah has committed to staying with a new contract, Slot has been forced to find a name to gradually replace the Egyptian striker on the right wing since the following season. Current options like Harvey Elliott are considered very difficult to bounce in the coming time, only keeping at a fairly good average level, so it will be difficult for Liverpool if they want to continue competing.
In the midfield area, Alexis Mac Allister is having a happy time with the Anfield team. With the age of 26 considered the most mature in his career, this position of the Argentine star can be guaranteed. Not only Mac Allister, Arne Slot can also rest assured about Ryan Gravenberch's position. If they are in good form, this pair can contribute to Liverpool for 3-4 more seasons.
In contrast to the top line, Luis Diaz could leave Anfield this summer, so Slot had to calculate in advance. The Colombian star is a key player for the team and can play very versatile. However, having had many successes with the team and received many invitations from outside, Diaz can find a new destination to challenge himself.
Among Liverpool's strikers today, there is no better left winger than Diaz. It is very difficult to find a winger at the moment. Liverpool have tried many cases but to achieve quality like Diaz is almost impossible.
The striker position also needs to be recalculated as Darwin Nunez is not guaranteed in quality and has also been involved in many rumors of being able to leave the team this summer. There was a time when Luis Diaz had to play as a striker in this position when Diogo Jota was still injured. Looking at Arsenal, Liverpool can understand the need for a striker. They will not be able to compete without a good striker in the opponent's penalty area.
Liverpool have not given a signal to any player playing in this position in the transfer market, but with the team's position and strength at the moment, a lightning mishap could happen at any time.
