Liverpool will face a true revolution during the next transfer market. Several of its big stars could leave in the summer. Van Dijk, Salah, and Alexander-Arnold could say goodbye, leaving significant gaps in the squad.
To maintain their competitiveness, the English team is already working on bringing in top-level reinforcements. Their planning is focused on strengthening two key positions. Interestingly, FC Barcelona has the same needs for the upcoming season.
Deco and Barça Look to Strengthen Two Key Positions
Deco is clear that Barça must improve their attack and right-back. These are his two priorities for the summer market. However, the scenario is not easy due to FC Barcelona's economic situation.
The new coach, Hansi Flick, has also requested reinforcements in these areas. Therefore, the sporting director has been analyzing various options in the market. The problem is that their main target also interests Liverpool.
Liverpool Speeds Up for a Barça Desire
In recent hours, it has come to light that the Anfield team is very close to closing a star signing. It is a striker who has excelled in the Premier League. A forward that Deco had identified as a priority for Barça.
The chances of Barça managing to sign him have drastically reduced. Liverpool is moving quickly to secure his signing.
Isak, Deco's Great Desire, Further Away
We are talking about Alexander Isak, the Swedish striker from Newcastle, who is having a spectacular season. His performance has caught the attention of several big European clubs. Deco has tried to understand his situation and assess his signing, but the response has been clear: he will not leave for less than 120M euros.
Liverpool Prepares an Offer Hard to Refuse
While Barça drops out of the bidding, Liverpool continues to advance. At Anfield, they are willing to include Diego Jota and Harvey Elliott in the deal.
With this strategy, the English team aims to reduce the economic cost of the transfer. Additionally, they are confident in convincing Newcastle with an irresistible offer.
Deco Must Seek Alternatives
In this scenario, Deco and Barça must change their strategy. Isak seemed to be the number one target, but his price makes him unattainable.
Now, the Barça sporting director must find other options in the market. Meanwhile, Liverpool is very close to acquiring the Swedish striker.
