Alexander Isak of Newcastle United seems to be the main aim, but because the £100 million Swede is supposedly beyond of reach, players like Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko are also apparently being considered.
Journalist Graeme Bailey has stated that the Reds may be interested in Athletic Club sensation Nico Williams, who is “willing” to transfer to England this summer.
This is separate from the quest of a number nine.
Manchester City, Newcastle, and Liverpool have all contacted the player’s representation, Arsenal and Chelsea are now in the lead.
The Euro 2024 champion would be free to leave if a suitor activated his €58 million (£49 million) release clause, reports Football Fan Cast.
However, he would probably have to verify his pay demands.
He would like to make around £400,000 a week, which is comparable to what Virgil van Dijk is expected to make after signing his own contract extension.
The 22-year-old would be a valuable addition to the Anfield team if a solution could be reached, but such a pay could prove to be a major obstacle for Slot and company.
