Liverpool transfer targets Summer 2025: Who will follow Florian Wirtz?

Liverpool have won the Premier League title, but there are long-term concerns to be addressed in terms of playing personnel, so here are some summer Liverpool transfer targets we think could future-proof their squad.

Seamlessly transitioning from Jurgen Klopp to Arne Slot in the dugout, Liverpool were the best side in the Premier League in the recently concluded season, but several key players have question marks over their futures and could need replacing. It appears the ever-dependable Andy Robertson may finally need replacing, with the Scotsman beginning to slow down and Kostas Tsimikas not widely considered a sufficient deputy.

Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak (Newcastle)

Shockwaves were sent around English football when it was revealed Liverpool were in talks with Newcastle over signing Anthony Gordon last summer… and that the former Everton man was keen to join.  His searing pace, ball-carrying, end-product and knack for turning up when it matters most could go some way to helping the Reds replace Mohamed Salah if and when the time comes.

However, matters have been complicated by the Englishman's new contract on Tyneside. This new development will make Gordon's acquisition potentially very, very expensive.

The Reds are a determined side, however, and could well make an audacious return for Gordon.

The Sweden striker has made quite the impression on Liverpool this season, scoring once in their draw on Tyneside, and producing a superb finish to win the Magpies the Carabao Cup in March. Arsenal have also long been credited with an interest in Alexander Isak, with their links to him dating back three years.

But according to insider reports, Liverpool are currently ‘best positioned' to sign the hotshot striker. The Reds have been described as Isak's ‘most persistent suitors’.

It is easy to see how Liverpool could potentially gazump the Gunners. Most importantly, Arsenal likely need more than one attacker, limiting the resources they can expend on the striker.

With Newcastle quoting a reported asking price of £150m, it would prevent the Gunners from fully refreshing their attack. But compounding that, Liverpool can offer Isak status as the star man of a new-look side under Slot, whereas at Arsenal, there are still questions as to where he will fit in with the likes of Kai Havertz.

Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace)

The 24-year-old centre-back is a hot commodity this summer, with many Premier League teams trying to pry him away from last season's FA Cup winners Crystal Palace. Liverpool could certainly use another central defender, so they are reportedly in the race for Marc Guehi as well.

Guehi's estimated transfer value is around £40m, but it is highly unlikely that Palace will let him go for that, although they also know that his contract is up next summer, so Liverpool might not have to bid too much over his market value to land Guehi.

Warren Zaire-Emery (PSG)

While Zaire-Emery was an integral piece of PSG's amazing season in which they won the UEFA Champions League (UCL) for the first time in the club's history, there are reports that the midfielder could be on the move this summer. The Reds are one of a few teams interested in his signature, along with Arsenal, but so far, nothing too concrete has happened.

Zaire-Emery is currently with PSG at the Club World Cup (CWC) and the youngster likely will not go anywhere until the tournament is over, if at all.
