May 4th According to the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool coach Slot recently talked about the team's summer transfer plan and future challenges in an interview. He said that if Liverpool cannot further improve its current roster that has just won the Premier League championship, the team will face problems and expects Manchester City and Arsenal to strengthen their strength through signings to catch up with the Reds.

Liverpool has confirmed that goalkeeper Mamaldashvili will return to the team, and plans to continue to strengthen at the left-back and center position.

Slott stressed that the team's stability this season is the key to winning the championship, but there is still room for improvement. He believes that Manchester City and Arsenal's financial investment is a long-term threat, so Liverpool must remain competitive. Regarding Manchester City and Chelsea's participation in the Club World Cup, Slot admitted that the intensive events may affect the health of players, but admitted that competitive games may be helpful to their early stages of the season. Liverpool will receive a full summer break due to failure to qualify for the competition.

At present, Liverpool is leading the transfer work by Sports Director Richard Hughes, with a sufficient transfer budget, and the goal is to lay the foundation for the regaining title again after more than 40 years. Slotte specifically mentioned that although the outside world is confident in the team's existing roster, maintaining progress is the only way to deal with opponents' challenges.
