Liverpool join Manchester United in transfer race as Arne Slot target gets offer
Liverpool are already being linked with several potential new signings ahead of the summer transfer window.
The future at Anfield remains uncertain as Jurgen Klopp prepares to bid farewell to Merseyside. Klopp will depart from his role as Liverpool manager this month, ending nearly nine years in charge.
Klopp is expected to be replaced by Feyenoord boss Arne Slot, who is in line to be the next Liverpool manager. A formal announcement is yet to be made by the club, and despite this, the Reds are being linked with possible transfer targets this summer.

Reports from across Europe have provided updates on RB Leipzig star Dani Olmo and Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners.
According to Spanish news outlet Sport, Liverpool are one of several clubs showing an interest in signing Olmo this summer. It has been stated that Olmo could leave Leipzig at the end of the season, with the Premier League a potential destination.
The report claims that the Reds are joined by Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Man City in expressing an interest in signing Olmo, with Man United in particular being linked with a move in recent weeks. However, it has not been stated whether or not any club has an advantage in the race or a potential price tag that Leipzig may demand to part ways with the Spain international.
Elsewhere, Liverpool look set to face fierce competition in the race to sign Koopmeiners this summer. The Reds have been heavily linked with the Atalanta midfielder in recent months, with the speculation intensifying over the last few weeks.
According to Italian news outlet Calciomercato, Juventus are the favourite to sign Koopmeiners when the transfer window opens. It has been claimed that the Serie A giants have made the midfielder one of their top targets for the summer.
The report claims that Liverpool are in the race to sign Koopmeiners, who will have a "strong" interest with the arrival of Slot as manager. However, it has been claimed that negotiations are already taking place between Juventus and the player's representatives, but do not say if a deal is close to being agreed.
