Liverpool plans for a possible midfield addition after appointing Arne Slot as a new manager and this could be his first acquisition.
Slot was appointed as a successor of Jurgen Klopp more than a month after the latter’s announcement and the latest gives him the task of assessing the strengths and weaknesses of this team and looking for a new player who will lift Liverpool from third in the Premier League.
Michael Edwards has now returned while Richard Hughes is joining the club as the new sporting director where Liverpool has a wealth of transfer experience.
This has resulted in an endless stream of headlines about likely new signings.
Nico Williams and Arda Guler are examples of players likely to join the Anfield side since they played in Euro 2024.
Nevertheless, their strategy of spending on the club is still shrouded in some ambiguity.
Hence, instead of signing big names Liverpool could aim at getting value for money, perhaps beginning with a unique category of player, namely, the midfielder.

Further, Sport Italia touched upon Liverpool’s interest in Adrien Rabiot, who has not signed any of the new contract proposals by Juventus.
Rabiot is expected to become a free agent and most likely, leave the Italian giants this summer.
This would be a wise strategy for Liverpool because it would only cost them the recently revealed £146,000-a-week wages of the Frenchman leaving aside the transfer fee.
Real Madrid has also expressed its interest in Rabiot as well.
This trend of competing for transfer targets could also be jimmy perhaps the Champions League winners to swoop in and possibly scupper Liverpool’s plans once again.
The arrival of Slot signifies a new era for Liverpool, and the emphasis on the framework change is evident.
As such, Rabiot with his talent and experience will be a great signing to Liverpool particularly in the midfield line.
The club has adapted the policy of signing free agents which are mainly signed at a cheap price adding value to their team without having to break the bank.
The potential first signing, Rabiot, has a great potential and will add more strength and quality into midfield that is a weak area in Manchester City.
