Liverpool could complete SENSATIONAL swap deal for Julian Alvarez | OneFootball

Liverpool are planning to upgrade their attacking options in the summer transfer window. We have already seen the club make a bid for Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz - with a resolution hopefully expected before long.

But Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes won’t stop there. There are plans to bring other attackers on board - including a new face at No9.

Departures are inevitable with centre-forward options Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez available for the right price. But players on the wing could leave too as Hughes and Slot set about assembling a summer transfer war-chest.

Luis Diaz has been linked with Barcelona although Al-Nassr now appear ready to test Liverpool’s resolve for the Colombian. Ben Doak is attracting attention from within the Premier League and could be on the move to Everton in their new stadium.

Chiesa linked with Anfield exit

And Federico Chiesa could also be on the move after a single season on Merseyside. The Italian winger, 27, hasn’t enjoyed a successful season on a personal level.

He played just over 100 minutes in the Premier League, appearing in 14 matches for Arne Slot overall. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Chiesa is said to be desperate to win his place back in the Italy squad.

It’s going to be difficult if he remains on the fringes at Liverpool - and so Chiesa could be moving on this summer. Napoli are thought to be keen in Serie A but a new report in Spain describes Chiesa as a “golden opportunity” for Atletico Madrid.
