With the summer window edging closer to its final hours, Arne Slot has hinted that Liverpool might not be entirely finished with their business just yet.
The Reds have already splashed out on some big names this summer, most notably the record-breaking arrival of Florian Wirtz in a £116m deal. But with ongoing links to Alexander Isak and Marc Guehi, whispers around Anfield suggest there could still be more activity before September 1.
Concerns have been growing among supporters about squad depth—particularly in defence and attack—made worse by simultaneous setbacks to Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley, leaving the right-back role looking thin.
When asked about the chances of late signings ahead of Liverpool’s upcoming clash with Newcastle, Slot kept his cards close to his chest. The Dutchman admitted he’s “very happy” with his current squad and doesn’t see the need for a flurry of arrivals. However, he stressed that if the right player, right price, and right fit appear—Liverpool won’t hesitate to act.
His remarks follow the recent addition of Giovanni Leoni, who Slot highlighted as a perfect example of strengthening only when the right opportunity comes along.
Still, history offers a warning. Fans remember the 2020/21 campaign when injuries left Jurgen Klopp’s squad stretched to its limits, particularly in defence. Slot may prefer a lean squad, but another injury crisis could force his hand in the final days of the market.
With just over a week left before the window slams shut, Liverpool supporters will be watching closely. Will the Reds stand firm with what they have, or will a late twist bring in another big signing? 👀
