Liverpool is closing in on appointing a Dutchman as the successor to their current German manager. However, at 31, a decision needs to be made on Salah’s contract. The club could renew his deal, risk him running down his contract, or consider cashing in and selling to a Saudi club for over £100m. With a significant investment in the striker, the club faces a big decision.

Nunez has potential but lacks composure in front of goal. Adjusting his position or developing him into a clinical forward are potential solutions. The future of key players like Salah and Alexander-Arnold, as well as the need for another centre-back or defensive midfielder, are up for consideration. Questions arise about the suitability of certain players for the team’s formation and the defensive discipline of midfielders such as Endo, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Elliott, and Jones.

The club’s ambitions for success and the potential need to strengthen in defense, midfield, and possibly attack if key players leave are also highlighted.
