Arne Slot, has reportedly asked his employers to strengthen two key positions ‘immediately’
Following Jurgen Klopp’s resignation, the Reds chose to replace the German with the Dutchman. Slot has joined Liverpool after a good tenure with Feyenoord.
However, the Merseyside club has made no new additions this summer, which has irritated the fans. They’ve even expressed their dissatisfaction on social media.
Now, it seems Slot isn’t too pleased about the Reds’ laidback approach in the transfer dealings either as a recent story covered by La Gazzetta Dello Sport has stated that (press image provided below) the Dutch boss has ‘immediately’ demanded his employers to strengthen the backline and the midfield following a 1-0 defeat against Preston North End in a behind closed doors friendly.
However, the report didn’t mention any names as to who Liverpool may look to sign to reinforce these two positions.
GdS say that Liverpool are also looking to purchase a new attacker and initially wanted Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United. But, a deal didn’t materialize and they have now identified Nico Williams as a ‘dream’ option.
However, the Spaniard has a release clause worth between £46m-£49m and additionally, he wants a hefty salary package. Therefore, he is likely to be a very expensive option for Liverpool, so, the Italian outlet claim that Galatasaray star, Baris Alper Yilmaz, would be a more attainable target.
The Liverpool club has been silent in the transfer market, but Romano just claimed that they are working behind the scenes to strengthen the squad.
It remains to be seen whether they would increase their attempts to attract new faces in the coming days.
