This is what Liverpool’s starting XI could look like in 2024/25

As the transfer circus travels across Europe this summer, it’s yet to stop at Anfield.

The distinct lack of activity ahead of Arne Slot’s debut campaign at the helm has Liverpool supporters concerned as the start of the Premier League season draws closer. With Jurgen Klopp no longer leading the Reds, there is already enough trepidation on Merseyside.

However, Liverpool did invest in rebuilding their midfield last summer and already boast an incredibly gifted squad, lined with some impressive young talents emerging from the academy. Even one new signing would raise hopes around Anfield, but it seems increasingly likely that the Reds won’t add to their roster at all this summer.

Here is how Liverpool could line up for the 2024/25 season following a quiet window.

GK: Alisson

Liverpool have already seen Adrian leave and Caoimhin Kelleher may well be next, but that won’t concern the Reds too much as long as Alisson remains between the sticks. The Brazil star has been linked with an exit, but Slot cannot allow the stopper to depart at the beginning of a new era.

RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold

There have been question marks over Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future following interest from Real Madrid, with his contract also expiring in 2025. Slot will be desperate to have the creative right-back in his squad for next season and beyond, with few capable of matching the England defender’s output in the opposition half.

CB: Ibrahima Konate

Jarell Quansah usurped Ibrahima Konate at the end of last season but you would expect the French defender, who has struggled with injuries recently, to reclaim his spot in the XI for 2024/25. The 25-year-old’s pace and athleticism is perfectly suited to a Liverpool team that will continue to push high up the pitch under Slot.

CB: Virgil van Dijk

Uncertainty over Virgil van Dijk’s future persists, especially after his worrying comments at the end of Euro 2024. The Dutchman’s contract also expires in 2025 with understandable speculation over his future, but he appears set to stay at Anfield for at least another year. The skipper will be a key bridge between his compatriot Slot and the rest of the squad, and his quality is undeniable, too.

LB: Andy Robertson

It was not a campaign to remember for club or country for Andy Robertson. The Scot struggled to produce his energetic best during the 2023/24 season, with suggestions that Liverpool may need to replace him in the near…
