One thing is for sure, Liverpool are not alone in gearing up for next season. Manchester City will take back the Premier League title, surprise team Nottingham Forest will strengthen the squad so that they keep the flow all the way in and Arsenal will no longer be the “eternal runner-up” with trophies.
Liverpool have a lot to hold and will not sit still this summer. The plan is, among other things, to strengthen the midfield.
Liverpool are already working on the next transfer window and have their sights set on one of the up-and-coming talents in German football. The goal is Angelo Stiller.

The Stuttgart midfielder who has impressed with his tactical maturity and ability to organise the game from deep, the 24-year-old has become a key figure in his team, which has sparked interest from the English club who are determined to strengthen an area that has shown weaknesses this season.
Liverpool willing to bid €60 million
Liverpool’s sporting management, along with new coach Arne Slot, have identified the German international as an ideal profile to create balance and control in midfield. The departure of several key players in recent seasons has left holes yet to be filled, and Stiller fits perfectly into the possession and pressing style the Dutch coach wants to implement.
From the German side, Stuttgart is aware of the player’s increased market value and will not let him go without a fight. The initial sums discussed are around 60 million euros, a significant sum, but manageable for a club like Liverpool if they believe the player can have an immediate sporting impact. Internal reports also highlight his potential and development opportunities, which are key factors in justifying such a significant investment.
