Conor Bradley has been tipped to take over from the England star, but Liverpool are also scouring the transfer market for potential replacements. According to <em>L'Equipe</em>, Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong is Liverpool's top choice but they are also looking at Vanderson. The Brazilian will be allowed to leave the Ligue 1 club this summer, should an acceptable offer arrive, and may be an option for the Reds.</p><p></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Vanderson joined Monaco in 2022 from Germio and has gone on to become a regular in the team. He has previously been linked with a move to Barcelona but appears now to have attracted interest from Liverpool. Frimpong does still appear to be Liverpool's preferred option, although the <a href=" https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-jeremie-frimpong-open-talks-bayer-leverkusen-trent-alexander-arnold-real-madrid/blt3164d3aa7cd288e3" target="_blank">Reds are expected to face plenty of competition for the Bayer Leverkusen defender</a>.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Liverpool boss Slot had already spoken about the club's transfer plans and admitted it may not be easy to bring in replacement. He told Sky Sports: "I think it would be a surprise if I were to tell you now 'Yes, we we are looking at this and looking at that'. We don't talk about contracts here so we don't talk about the positions or if we want to improve the team in certain areas. That's the most difficult thing for a club like Liverpool if you just won the league is that it is not easy to find better players than we already have. And if they are there then they still need to be affordable and need to want to come. That last thing is mostly not a problem, by the way, but transfer fees sometimes are."</p>

WHAT SLOT HAS SAID SAID

<p>Liverpool have managed to keep hold of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk but Alexander-Arnold's expected departure for Real Madrid may see the Reds dip into the transfer market. Slot is also being tipped to bring in a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-attack-transfer-market-three-major-transfers-trent-alexander-arnold-exit/blt60a3f059dc222224#cs563b733f6ed79dcf" target="_blank">new left-back, centre-back and striker before the start of the new campaign</a>.</p><p></p>
