Liverpool are embarking on a new era under manager Arne Slot following a highly successful nine-year reign of Jurgen Klopp. With a strong start to the season, the Reds are determined to compete for silverware across all fronts.
Despite being linked with several high-profile names during the summer transfer window, Liverpool’s only major signing was Federico Chiesa. However, it became clear that they intended to bolster their midfield, a move they were unable to execute. Now, it seems they are preparing to rectify that in 2025.
According to Caught Offside, Liverpool have been monitoring Shakhtar Donetsk’s star midfielder, Sudakov, whose performances have caught the eye of several top clubs. Impressed by his abilities, Liverpool are poised to step up their efforts to bring the Ukrainian to Anfield.
A Fierce Battle for Sudakov
Shakhtar Donetsk, however, will not part with their prized asset easily. The Ukrainian club has reportedly placed a £54m (€65m) price tag on Sudakov, demonstrating their determination to hold onto him unless a significant offer is made.
Liverpool will face stiff competition from Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, who are also interested in the talented midfielder. Aston Villa and Newcastle United are also keeping tabs on Sudakov, further intensifying the race for his signature.
For Arsenal, the need for midfield reinforcements is clear, with Thomas Partey and Jorginho both in the final year of their contracts. Meanwhile, Tottenham’s departures of Oliver Skipp, Giovani Lo Celso, and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg have left room for fresh talent in their midfield.
Sudakov’s versatility, capable of playing in multiple midfield roles, makes him a highly sought-after prospect. It will be fascinating to see which club prevails in securing the 21-year-old’s services as the Premier League giants ramp up their pursuit ahead of the 2025 transfer window.
