Liverpool's new head coach, Arne Slot, has yet to make a signing, with Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi rejecting a move to Anfield despite Liverpool meeting his €60m release clause. Slot's approach contrasts with Jurgen Klopp's, who preferred not to mention players by name until deals were finalized. Despite this, Slot remains confident in the squad's quality, emphasizing internal improvements over new signings. Concerns persist about the futures of key players like Darwin Nunez, who may struggle for starting opportunities, and Joe Gomez, who was left out of the first matchday squad amid transfer speculation. Meanwhile, contract discussions for Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk remain unresolved as their deals wind down.
