Liverpool sets the stage for a big team overhaul this summer, with the club prioritizing recruiting new strikers, central defenders and left-backs.
One of the biggest expected changes is the departure of Darwinnes. The Uruguayan forwards are struggling to fully integrate into the club’s Arne Slot system.
Uruguayan attackers could be targeting more reliable and consistent striker moves, being replaced by the Premier League champions this summer.
The lack of a proper threat ahead of time for Liverpool has made it clear that the club has relied heavily on goal this season.

Slot decided to address that issue this summer, and the club has linked with Aston Villa’s Olly Watkins to become Anfield’s new number nine.
Liverpool’s new left-back pursuit is becoming increasingly urgent amid growing concerns about Andy Robertson’s shape at the club and the long-term future.
Robertson is still a key figure, but his inconsistent performance this season has led the club to look for young, energetic players for left-back positions.
Bournemouth’s Milos Kerquez is the club’s main target in that position.
Center backs are also on the list of candidates.
Liverpool recently secured a contract extension for Virgil van Dyke, but the club is still pushing for new centre-backs to sign more depth to their defense.
Names like Dean Huijsen and Marc Guehi float as potential targets, fitting the profiles of young ball-play defenders, where both players can add depth and quality to their teams.
Despite losing Trent Alexander Arnold this summer, they have not prioritized a new right-back move.
