We examine the possible starting lineup for Liverpool in the next season following a busy summer of signings at Anfield.
Liverpool’s disappointing season at Anfield is certain to be made worse by their failure to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in seven seasons.
But with Jurgen Klopp charged with creating his second, great dynasty on Merseyside, there should be enough to look forward to in the summer transfer season..
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita, and James Milner are all slated to leave the club at the end of June, therefore the majority of the Reds’ hiring will likely be in the midfield. The average age of the engine room is also declining, with Fabinho turning 30 in October, captain Jordan Henderson already 32, and Thiago Alcantara 32.
Liverpool are reportedly compiling a list of potential midfield arrivals, as the ECHO reported on Wednesday. The Chelsea combo of Connor Gallagher and Mason Mount, as well as Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister of Brighton & Hove Albion, are all players they are interested in.
Even though Mount is about to enter the final year of his current contract, he and Chelsea, the club he joined when he was six, have not yet reached an agreement on a new one. The Londoners are reportedly under pressure this summer to balance the finances after spending nearly £600 million in two transfer windows after a Todd Boehly-led consortium bought the team in the summer of 2022.
The likely summer departures of Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Nat Phillips, and Caoimhin Kelleher, who together make up four of the Reds’ seven homegrown players in their 2022–23 Premier League team, can be used to explain the interest in Mount and Gallagher, despite the disappointment of some fans.
