Arne Slot signed to be the head coach of Liverpool FC and this could be considered a defining summer for him and the team.
That said, in adapting to the new environment, he must also share his vision with the new team.
In the following few months, there will be several changes with Liverpool, including the transfers to improve the squad which Jurgen Klopp built.
Of the above cited weaknesses, the primary area of concern that requires strengthening is in the defence.
Thus, Liverpool has been targeting Benfica’s bright talent Antonio Silva, and he appears capable of addressing this issue.
Manchester United, Arsenal, and even Liverpool have shown their interest in the young defender according to the newspaper, Correio da Manha also known as Paisley Gates.
In addition, Real Madrid and PSG might be other possible parties that could express their interest in Silva.
However, Liverpool has not only already made the first move also moving closer to finalizing the relationship.

Benfica is willing to sell Silva in this summer transfer window, but they have set the price which they expect to get from Nunez from Liverpool, which is around $109 million, £85 million, €100 million.
Liverpool, however, does not plan to spend such a colossal sum for the footballer, who is only 20 years old.
Portuguese clubs have been notorious for releasing their stars for a smaller value than the amount in the release clauses, just like in the case of Luis Diaz.
However, if Liverpool is to secure the signing of Silva, offering a lower transfer fee would be a good business decision for the club.
Otherwise, it could be that it will be better off to look for better value elsewhere in the likes of Liverpool.
Slot will have to do that and a lot more because he needs to evaluate his team and its potential for performance especially in regards to getting new players such as Silva into the line up.
This quality especially when it comes to strategy will help Liverpool move to the next level and maintain its cohesion.
From all the areas that have been analyzed it is quite clear that the ability of the club to build a strong defense, could be a key factor in contending for the premiership next season.
