Despite the Reds excelling on the pitch, a number of players are likely to be replaced in the summer to address the long-overlooked needs of the squad.

Arne Slot has worked wonders this season, leading the team to an EFL Cup final, the knockouts of the Champions League, and an all but confirmed Premier League title.

He has done so without having any money to spend in the transfer market and when the campaign comes to an end in May, the Dutchman will finally be given permission to bring in some players of his own.

Through a collective effort, Kostas Tsimikas and Andy Robertson have been able to perform admirably at left-back, however, it is clear that neither should be relied upon moving forward and that a fresh face is required to meet the standards Liverpool have to sustain success.

Likewise, until Ryan Gravenberch stepped up in defensive midfield, the club was at a loss for how their midfield would cope this season. However, he has made the role his own, and through managing to stay fit throughout the entire season, Liverpool have not had to do any major problem-solving in that area.

Nonetheless, a long-term solution is required, to either supersede Gravenberch or to facilitate his workload next season, and a solution might have just become available, who can also fill in at fullback when required.

'Real Madrid will listen to offers for Camavinga'

At just 22 years old, Eduardo Camavinga is a phenomenal player with a remarkable skill-set, able to operate as a left-back and a midfielder.

The Galactico forms part of the rich squad depth at Real Madrid and while he may struggle to get as much game time as he wants, his quality and talent is clear - the opportunity to sign a player of his calibre is massive.

As such, the latest news coming from Spanish news outlet Fichajes is certainly worth taking note of; their latest report suggests that for €70m, the Spanish giants would consider letting him go.

The Frenchman has only been at Real Madrid for four years, yet he already has two La Liga titles and two Champions League titles to his name.

In addition, he is a highly regarded member of the French national team squad, who won the Nations League in 2021 and came runners-up in the 2022 World Cup.

Liverpool love to have adaptable players in their squad and a player of Camavinga's calibre would almost certainly increase the level of Slot's team as a whole.

In addition, the left-back role would have a new dimension to it and instead of splashing out on two players, Camavinga could facilitate an inverted role where he enjoys as much time on the ball as possible.

Manchester City are currently rumoured to be the favourites to sign him, if Madrid are to let him leave, but Liverpool have a far superior history in Europe and the allure of joining the set to be newly crowned Premier League champions might be enough to sway the Frenchman's mind.

The move would be incredibly ambitious for the club's recruitment team to try and pull off, but there are few better players out there that you could purchase for less than £60m, while feeling assured that they could be relied upon straight away.

If city are going for the same player as LFC then they will get him. Signing 1 player to do the job of 2 isn't what the club should be doing, the squad needs strengthening, not stretching. We are at full stretch already, let's get the league won and then see what happens.
