Liverpool’s dazzling XI with Dominik Szoboszlai and three other transfers

Goalkeeper: Alisson

Alisson was one of the few Liverpool players that maintained their form during a disappointing campaign in 2022/23, without him it is unlikely that a finish as high as fifth would have been secured thanks to a string of top saves throughout the season.

In the Brazilian, Klopp knows that goalkeeper is one area he will not have to upgrade on in the summer – though could be on the lookout for a backup if interest is followed up on Caoimhin Kelleher.

Defence: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Goncalo Inacio

Liverpool’s traditional back four has overseen a transformation over the past few months. Trent Alexander-Arnold has moved into an inverted role that has seen him take up positions in midfield, as opposed to a traditional right-back.

The centre-backs may have to cover more ground in Alexander-Arnold’s absence, forcing Andy Robertson to become a much more defensive full-back in the ilk of Nathan Ake at Manchester City. Klopp could in turn look to add another left-sided defender to help the likes of Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk.

Sporting Lisbon’s Goncalo Inacio has been mentioned with a move to Anfield and would certainly provide that option. Spanish outlet AS have claimed that Liverpool are keen to make a move for the 21-year-old in the coming weeks, but the Portuguese club are demanding a high fee for their star defender.

Midfield: Dominik Szoboszlai, Khephren Thuram, Alexis Mac Allister

Klopp could have an entirely new-look midfield, after already sealing a deal for Mac Allister. Further additions have been deemed necessary, as The Athletic have claimed that Liverpool are exploring a move for Leipzig star Szoboszlai. The German side would likely command a big fee but it is yet to be revealed whether the Reds are willing to make a huge splash to land the Hungarian.

Szoboszlai and Mac Allister could be joined by Nice star Khephren Thuram, who continues to be linked with a move to Anfield. CBS Sports have claimed that the Frenchman is “the one to watch now in terms of Liverpool” as he can play a holding role and further forward, which would likely appeal to Klopp who could fit all three potential signings in the same team together – albeit at a likely expensive cost.
