Liverpool Plans Major Squad Changes After Premier League Title

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has praised young center-back Jarell Quansah's qualities but stressed the need for greater consistency as he aims to build a strong squad following their Premier League title win. With Trent Alexander-Arnold announcing his departure to Real Madrid at the end of the season, Slot has highlighted Conor Bradley, Curtis Jones, Joe Gomez, and Quansah as potential replacements, though he acknowledged the challenge in finding better players who are both affordable and willing to join. Slot plans to continue rotating his lineup in the remaining games, giving younger players like Bradley more playing time to prepare for next season. The Reds secured the Premier League title with four matches to spare, and key players Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah have committed to new contracts, while departures like Alexander-Arnold and possibly Darwin Nunez are expected. Slot has also expressed admiration for Paris Saint-Germain’s team qualities as a blueprint for Liverpool’s squad rebuilding, emphasizing the importance of quick, skillful, and selfless players. Overall, Slot’s focus is on maintaining competitiveness while managing transitions in a squad that recently demonstrated strong performances against top European clubs.
