According to reports, trimming the Liverpool squad will be key with the sale of fringe players eyed to inject funds into the budget. The news comes as the Reds continue their pursuit of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, in what would be Arne Slot's first signing. There have been no new faces through the door at Anfield so far this summer after the Dutchman arrived as head coach. Liverpool touched down back on Merseyside this week after the USA stretch of their pre-season tour.
Fabio Carvalho, who has enjoyed pre-season with goals against Arsenal and Manchester United, has reportedly attracted interest from newly-promoted duo Leicester City and Southampton. Reports in Spain, namely from Noticias de Gipuzkoa , has claimed that there are reservations from Zubimendi as scrutiny surrounds his future at La Real. The 25-year-old was included in the squad that travelled to Berlin to take on Union Berlin in a pre-season friendly.
