Liverpool hit ‘Barcelona transfer blow’ as Arne Slot eyes two summer signings | Football | Sports

Arne Slot, Liverpool’s future manager, has been given a transfer blow before stepping foot in the Anfield dugout and Barcelona star Pedri is not for sale. The Reds have been heavily linked with the player in recent weeks after it was claimed he could be available for £70million.

Liverpool are expected to be particularly busy this summer, with Slot keen to make his mark and signal that there has been a changing of the guard on Merseyside. With the departure of Jurgen Klopp, the transfer window has been highlighted as the ideal opportunity to accelerate the rebuilding of the club.

New faces are expected to arrive in all departments, with the finishing touches to be completed on Klopp’s midfield upgrade. The German boss orchestrated a major reshuffle of his central ranks last summer, with the likes of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho being sold to make way for Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch.

Another midfield signing is anticipated under Slot’s instructions, although it seems unlikely that Pedri will join the Reds. Conformable Reliefthe Spain international has been deemed ‘untransferable’ by Barca despite speculation.

Pedri is seen as an integral part of the Catalan giants’ short- and long-term plans, and Xavi has relied heavily on the playmaker throughout this season. As a result, Barca has no interest in entertainment offers for the number 8, regardless of financial difficulties.
