Liverpool's failure to participate in the UEFA Champions League for the 2023/2024 season has prompted them to bring in new signings to help them perform well in the new season.
The Red Devils seem interested in bringing in new central defenders in the summer of 2023. They have signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, who are both central midfielders.
Alexis Mac Allister has been signed from Liverpool for £35m and Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig for €70m. Their next target is the French central midfielder to block the three central defenders. Possessing a strong midfield will help create opportunities for Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah in the midfield position while Darwin Nunez plays in the center position.
Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate will play at centre-back, with Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander Arnold at left-back and right-back respectively.
This is the squad that can play in the 2023/2024 English Premier League season.

Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara has turned down an attractive offer from an unnamed Saudi Arabian club, according to a report.
The Spain international is now entering the final 12 months of his contract with the Red Devils and is unlikely to be in a position to extend it as Jurgen Klopp revives his engine room with young players.
Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai both arrive at Anfield in the summer, while a possible deal for Romeo Lavia could also push Thiago down the dissection order.
As a result, a summer exit for a small fee has been discussed, but Liverpool are said to be leaning towards letting the 32-year-old leave for free in 2024.
However, The Athletic reports that Saudi Pro League clubs are testing Liverpool's resolve in the current transfer window and have "serious" interest in the Spaniard from the Gulf nation. Thiago Alcantara "rejected a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia"
The report adds that Thiago has turned down a huge contract from an unspecified party but both teams have yet to reach Liverpool directly for a deal.
The former Bayern Munich player is said to be solely focused on returning to pre-season training and he currently has no intention of leaving Liverpool before the 2023-24 season.
Furthermore, Klopp is planning his next campaign with Thiago in the squad, and the Red Devils will be delighted to see him leave on a free transfer in 12 months.
Thiago was widely regarded as one of Europe's best midfielders during his time at Bayern Munich, enjoying seven trophy-laden years in Bavaria before completing a €22m (£18.8m) move to Liverpool in 2020.
Despite concerns his playing style could conflict with Klopp's anti-pressure system, Thiago has established himself as an integral part of Liverpool's squad with three goals and six assists. created after 97 appearances. Thiago Alcantara "rejected a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia"
Thiago won the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Community Shield in Merseyside but started just 14 Premier League games in the 2022-23 season due to injury.
Liverpool have allowed Naby Keita, Roberto Firmino, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to leave the club when their contracts expire in June, while Arthur's loan deal with Juventus has yet to be made permanent.
Despite signing Szoboszlai and Mac Allister, Liverpool are still rumored to be pursuing another pivot ahead of the 2023-24 season and are tipped to move to Khephren Thuram from Nice.
However, the 22-year-old is no longer on Liverpool's radar, while another target is rumored to be Celta Vigo's Gabri Veiga possibly moving to Paris Saint-Germain.
