The transfer market opens officially later this week and Liverpool are building up for the first window under new head coach Arne Slot
The Premier League season may have only finished three weeks ago but that already feels like an eternity at Liverpool.
Arne Slot has been confirmed as new head coach - not manager, please note - and has since officially began his role, along with sporting director Richard Hughes and Fenway Sports Group's chief executive of football Richard Hughes. The likes of Julian Ward, Pedro Marques and Hans Leitert have also assumed positions at the Liverpool owners that will have an immediate bearing on the club itself.
While Slot ideally wants to assess his new squad in training before any significant transfer decisions are made, that won't stop a number of calls being taken, most notably regarding players likely to leave on loan. That has already been seen with Calvin Ramsay - who has suffered a difficult few seasons since arriving from Aberdeen - agreeing to spend the season on loan at League One side Wigan Athletic.
Caoimhin Kelleher could be another departure, although again that would depend on Liverpool's valuation being met - they dismissed a £15m offer from Nottingham Forest in January and believe the player is worth near double that - and the player confirming he wants to be a number one goalkeeper elsewhere having accepted he is behind Alisson Becker in the Anfield pecking order.
A new wide forward is more likely, given doubts over the long-term futures of Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz. While there has been so suggestion Salah wants to leave this summer, the Egyptian is out of contract at the end of next season with strong interest from Saudi Arabia. Diaz, meanwhile, is being courted by both Paris Saint-Germain - who want a replacement for Kylian Mbappe - and Barcelona, although the Catalans would have to move players on before they can afford to make an offer.
