And given that Ibrahima Konate, who has also just lost his starting spot for France, endured a drop in form last season, it could be a vital area to add a new player capable of starting.
Otherwise, Slot may also add a new winger, regardless of Luis Diaz’s future.
Wingers are vital to Slot’s style, who favours direct wide men who are strong in one versus one situations.
And although Germany’s Jamal Musiala doesn’t perfectly suit that brief, it’s more than understandable that Liverpool retain long-term interest.
Gary Lineker seriously impressed by progress of Liverpool target Jamal Muisala
Liverpool reportedly could move for Musiala this summer, and Gary Lineker has now been waxing lyrical about his talent.
Speaking on ‘The Rest Is Football’ podcast, Lineker was asked who he thought was the most improved player at Euro 2024.

And with little doubt, the pundit mentioned Musiala’s name, which is becoming more and more familiar across Europe.
Lineker simply replied: “Musiala you know. I know we know he’s an incredible talent but boy oh boy he’s sharp. Magical.”
And although it may seem unrealistic for Bayern Munich to ever part with such a talent, German journalist Christian Falk did recently hint at some uncertainty surrounding Musiala’s future.
As stated, Musiala may not be the player who perfectly fits Liverpool’s wishlist this summer, even if he can play out wide, but the German definitely falls into the category of ‘too good not to sign’, were he available.
Of course, Liverpool scouts may also be keeping a close eye on Federico Chiesa’s performances for Italy at Euro 2024.
