Apart from the chaos at Goodison Park, Arne Slot has shown Liverpool have placed themselves back on the top shelf. If this holds all the way, the Premier League rivals will be gearing up to beat Liverpool next season. For the Merseyside club, this means a very important transfer window this summer, where a midfielder will be manoeuvred into Anfield.
In the summer, Liverpool tried to persuade Martin Zubimendi to transfer, but the Spanish international chose to stay at Real Sociedad. According to Anfield Watch, Liverpool have now turned their attention to Paris.
The English media reports that the Reds are closely following the situation of Warren Zaire-Emery. The French 18-year-old has a contract with PSG until 2029, but Liverpool have reportedly been in contact with the central midfielder’s agent, Joao Mendes.
Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate has already spoken to the teenager, who made his debut at PSG at 16, the club’s youngest player ever.
In the same season, Zaire-Emery also wrote himself into PSG’s club history as the youngest goalscorer and youngest to start a Champions League match after the group stage.
According to Anfield Watch, Liverpool are willing to pay “whatever it costs” to secure the 18-year-old, which means a willingness to make bids for over the market value of €65 million.
A massive investment for Liverpool, but what will be an important building block for the next decade.
