Man City alumni Jeremie Frimpong and fellow player could strengthen a dream Liverpool squad for next season's competition, fortifying their position against adversaries following a significant transfer restructuring.
Cash Time for LFC: A Dream Team for Slot's Title Defence, According to Oladipo
It's no secret that Liverpool needs to splash some cash after their Premier League victory, and Ade Oladipo, a talkSPORT host and ardent supporter, has some ideas about what that squad could look like. Here's his proposed lineup for the upcoming season, keeping a nod towards reality.
From the back, the dream team starts with Alisson Becker, widely considered the best goalkeeper in the world. A sturdy center-back pairing of Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk forms the foundation. Jeremie Frimpong, who could potentially be joined by Conor Bradley or Milos Kerkez, is slated as the right-back. The latter, who Liverpool reportedly have an agreement with, would likely be a valuable addition.
The midfield trio is the most intriguing part of Oladipo's proposal. While he prefers to stick with three midfielders, the Far-fetched tales of teenage sensation Florian Wirtz have grabbed his attention. With top-notch wingers Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah already in the mix, Wirtz could be employed in the center, given his impressive skillset.
Upfront, Julian Alvarez takes the spot, even though Oladipo wishes he could have Erling Haaland's compatriot Alexander Isak. Alvarez, who has previously played for Manchester City, might be looking to reevaluate his decision due to Haaland's dominance. In case Alvarez decides to switch teams, Liverpool should jump at the opportunity, given his Premier League acumen and impressive track record.
Oladipo's proposed lineup totals four new signings, potentially with 20 existing players leaving the club. If Oladipo's predictions prove accurate, Liverpool could be welcoming Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong, Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez, and Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz to their ranks.
