Everyone agrees that it\u2019s time for Liverpool to flash the cash, but what could that look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arne Slot<\/a> is set to be backed in the transfer market<\/a> after winning the Premier League in his debut season, and supporters are fixated over what that will look like.<\/p>\n

Last summer the Dutchman was given just Federico Chiesa, but talkSPORT host and Reds fan Ade Oladipo is expecting much more this time around.<\/p>\n

As such, he was asked to name his ideal line-up for their title defence, but it\u2019s one that has to be realistic.<\/p>\n

Starting from the back outwards, Oladipo said: \u201cBest goalkeeper in the world, Alisson [Becker], centre back partnership of [Ibrahima] Konate and [Virgil] van Dijk – solid.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Jeremie] Frimpong coming in, it could be Frimpong or Conor Bradley. [Milos] Kerkez looks like he\u2019s on his way in, that\u2019s pretty much done.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMidfield three is interesting. Part of me wants to stick with the three but these Florian Wirtz stories\u2026 then you\u2019ve got [Alexis] Mac Allister, [Ryan] Gravenberch and Wirtz.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d rather have him [Wirtz] through the middle because I\u2019m happy with what\u2019s out wide, you\u2019ve got Luis Diaz and the best player in the world Mohamed Salah<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd through the middle\u2026 Julian Alvarez. Obviously I want [Alexander] Isak, everyone does, but it\u2019s not going to happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s Liverpool making four new signings with about 20 leaving the club, Slot should be given that money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oladipo could well end up having his wishes granted when it comes to three of those four players.<\/p>\n

talkSPORT understands that Liverpool are ready to sign Bayer Leverkusen\u2019s Frimpong<\/a> and have informed the Bundesliga side that they\u2019ll trigger the flying fullback\u2019s bargain \u00a329.5million release clause.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth’s Kerkez remains a top target<\/a> to replace the struggling Andy Robertson, while we also understand that the Merseyside club have held talks with Wirtz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yet the striker position is certainly the most interesting, with Liverpool looking for a new man up top as they attempt to offload Darwin Nunez.<\/p>\n

Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko and Victor Osimhen are all options, but Alvarez could certainly slot right in given his impressive Premier League experience.<\/p>\n

A two-time winner with Manchester City, it was clear he had to make a career decision as his spot upfront was blocked by the unstoppable Erling Haaland.<\/p>\n

Alvarez played an integral part in Argentina winning the 2022 World Cup and then in the summer of 2024 completed a \u00a371million move to Atletico Madrid<\/a>, the biggest deal of that window.<\/p>\n

This season for Atleti he has 27 in 52, and has arguably been their best player during another season where Diego Simeone\u2019s men have threatened to impress but ultimately failed.<\/p>\n

Such disappointment could well leave the 25-year-old re-thinking his decision, and should that be the case, Liverpool would do well to take a look at the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everyone agrees that it\u2019s time for Liverpool to flash the cash, but what could that look like?
