Liverpool now set to submit £40m+ offer for “breakout star”

Liverpool are closing in on the Premier League title and now have a dynamic target in their sights, per reports.

Liverpool look to build on impending Premier League title triumph

Although Liverpool aren’t quite there yet in their mission to claim the top-flight crown, the champagne is on ice at Anfield following their vital Merseyside derby victory over Everton in midweek.

While Sunday’s trip to face Fulham will be the main priority, Arne Slot is already making inroads ahead of the summer transfer window.

Reports indicate that Liverpool has expressed interest in Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak, although the £150 million transfer fee for the Swedish international is unlikely to be approved by FSG.

In light of Virgil Van Dijk’s uncertain contract status, Liverpool is also considering Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo as a potential target, with a transfer fee around £50 million.

In a parallel situation, Trent Alexander-Arnold may be heading to Real Madrid on a free transfer, as his contract at Anfield is set to expire this summer.

Kiliann Sildillia from Freiburg is viewed as a possible replacement for Alexander-Arnold, but any such move is unlikely to satisfy fans who are eager for the England international to remain at the club.

Liverpool ready to make offer for Stuttgart star Angelo Stiller

Per reports in Spain, Liverpool are set to make an offer of €50m (£42.5m) for Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller, who the Reds see as someone with ‘great potential’ to develop into a star at Anfield.

The Bundesliga outfit would like to keep him around for as long as possible, though they are aware that a battle for his signature could unfold during the summer window.

Labelled a “breakout star” by Ben Mattinson, the midfield enforcer has registered four goals and six assists in 41 appearances this term across all competitions.

Becoming a lynchpin for Stuttgart, the 23-year-old has created 44 chances and completed 19 dribbles on league duty. Illustrating his capacity to excel in the engine room, he could well be an ideal fit at Liverpool due to his purposeful approach in possession.

Now, the onus is on the Reds to push a deal over the line. They are unlikely to be the only side willing to secure Stiller’s signature, so time is of the essence.
